While Microsoft has just released its Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista and recently Services Pack 3 for Windows XP, rumor has it that the next version of Windows operation system would be Windows Vienna (or Windows 7). We are expecting to have another Windows system with an excellent GUI in 2010 based on Microsoft’s schedule. Why do I say Windows Vienna has an excellent GUI? Let’s take a look at Windows 7’s demo screenshots.
(If you want to see more pictures, scroll down to the end of this entry)
My estimated systems for this Windows Vienna:
- CPU: at least 3Ghz, recommended 2 cores to 4 cores
- RAM: at least 1GB, recommended 2GB
- Video card: at least 128MB external, recommended 768MB
- Monitor: recommended LCD 17″ and up.
What will be in Windows Vienna?

Windows 7 with Multi-touch technology
I will say that if you are impressed by the “touch features” in the iPhone, you’ll be blown away by what’s coming in Windows 7. Now if only we could convince more OEMs that Windows Touch Technology is going to drive their sales.
Hilton Locke, a test engineer at Microsoft, said recently. This is the feature that I expect most from Windows 7 because it will be even cooler than multi-touch technology of iPhone. There will be no more mouses, but your fingers and your voices.
You can take a look at this Surface Site from Microsoft for better understanding about what I’ve mentioned. Or you can watch the following Youtube Video to see how people play War Craft 3 game with Voices and hands only
