What’s Next after Windows Vista?

It’s Windows Vienna

Windows 7 (formerly codenamed Blackcomb, then Vienna) is a future version of Microsoft Windows. It is expected to be the successor to Windows Vista. Microsoft has confirmed that the planned development time frame is at least three years, putting the release date around 2010. On July 20, 2007, Microsoft confirmed that Windows 7 is “the internal name for the next version of the Windows Client OS”.

Microsoft has refrained from discussing the details about Windows 7 publicly as they focus on the release and marketing of Windows Vista,though some early details of various core operating system features have emerged at developer conferences such as Windows Hardware Engineering Conference in 2006.

On February 9, 2007, Microsoft’s Ben Fathi claimed that the focus on the operating system was still being worked out, and could merely hint at some possibilities:

“We’re going to look at a fundamental piece of enabling technology. Maybe it’s hypervisors. I don’t know what it is” [...] “Maybe it’s a new user interface paradigm for consumers.

”

Bill Gates, in an interview with Newsweek, also suggested that the next version of Windows would “be more user-centric.” When asked to clarify what he meant, Gates said: “ That means that right now when you move from one PC to another, you’ve got to install apps on each one, do upgrades on each one. Moving information between them is very painful. We can use Live Services to know what you’re interested in. So even if you drop by a [public] kiosk or somebody else’s PC, we can bring down your home page, your files, your fonts, your favorites and those things. So that’s kind of the user-centric thing that Live Services can enable. [Also,] in Vista, things got a lot better with [digital] ink and speech, but by the next release there will be a much bigger bet. Students won’t need textbooks; they can just use these tablet devices. Parallel computing is pretty important for the next release. We’ll make it so that a lot of the high-level graphics will be just built into the operating system. So we’ve got a pretty good outline. ”

Other features

Another feature mentioned by Bill Gates is “a pervasive typing line that will recognize the sentence that [the user is] typing in.” The implications of this could be as simple as a “complete as you type” function as found in most modern search engines, (e.g. Google Suggest) or as complex as being able to give verbal commands to the PC without any concern for syntax.

Availability

The client versions of Windows 7 will ship in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.Server versions of Windows 7, however, will be exclusively 64-bit.

Use Vista for atleast 1 Year without Activation

Microsoft allows bypass of Vista activation

 

The following describes the Registry key that’s involved

 

Step 1.

While running a copy of Windows Vista that hasn’t yet been activated, click the Start button, type regedit into the Search box, then press Enter to launch the Registry Editor.

 

Step 2.

Explore down to the following Registry key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ SL

 

Step 3.

Right-click the Registry key named SkipRearm and click Edit. The default is a Dword (a double word or 4 bytes) with a hex value of 00000000. Change this value to any positive integer, such as 00000001, save the change, and close the Registry Editor.

 

Step 4.

Start a command prompt with administrative rights. The fastest way to do this is to click the Start button, enter cmd in the Search box, then press Ctrl+Shift+Enter. If you’re asked for a network username and password, provide the ones that log you into your domain. You may be asked to approve a User Account Control prompt and to provide an administrator password.

 

Step 5.

Type one of the following two commands and press Enter:slmgr -rearmorrundll32 slc.dll,SLReArmWindowsEither command uses Vista’s built-in Software Licensing Manager (SLMGR) to push the activation deadline out to 30 days after the command is run. Changing SkipRearm from 0 to 1 allows SLMGR to do this an indefinite number of times. Running either command initializes the value of SkipRearm back to 0.

 

Step 6.

Reboot the PC to make the postponement take effect. (After you log in, if you like, you can open a command prompt and run the command slmgr -xpr to see Vista’s new expiration date and time.

 

Step 7.

To extend the activation deadline of Vista indefinitely, repeat steps 1 through 6 as necessary.
