Next: windows OS after Vista
From: Erik L. **Community Expert** on 24 Jun 2008 10:35 MS is always working toward new versions of their OS, browser, and Office products. What that roadmap may be, I don't know. I believe the 'next' item due for an upgrade is IE, not the OS. Vista just came out and usually there is at least three years between OS releases. There's no way to tell what problems Authorware may have on upcoming versions of Windows, of course, until someone has a version to test with.

Last I 'heard' was that a new full OS version isn't planned for release until at least 5 years after Vista was released. I've no idea how many interim releases are planned (Service Packs). Meantime, MS will continue to tweak Vista ... there's a new version of Internet Explorer in beta now. Due out next year, I think. perhaps that's the root of what you heard?

Given the delays on XP and Vista, I'll find it remarkable if Windows 7 comes around so soon. Plus - MS still has a lot of work ahead convincing the cynical piublic that Vista is not the Devil Incarnate. They just managed it With XP in time for the Vista release ... }:-) Steve -- http://twitter.com/Stevehoward999 Adobe Community Expert: eLearning, Mobile and Devices European eLearning Summit - EeLS Adobe-sponsored eLearning conference. http://www.elearningsummit.eu

They need to replace it faster than normal. Remember Windows 98? :-) It also won't surprise me if it's finally released 18 months after the projected date. :-o Mike |
