The next consumer version of Microsoft Windows is known as Windows 7, however its final shipping name is still subject to change. It is scheduled to be released to the public around three years after the release of Vista, putting it at the very end of 2009 or very beginning of 2010.
This operating system will likely incorporate a wide number of changes, both to its inner workings and its user interface, but Microsoft has made public, on several occasions, that multi-touch support will be a big factor in this coming OS. Rumored features also include a new, improved backwards compatibility method (for running older programs) and a 3D desktop task-manager replacement.
Although in the past Microsoft has made mention of MinWin, a slimmed-down version of the Windows kernel, being the base of Windows 7's new kernel, but later reports indicate that it will be based on the kernel of Windows Server 2008 (which was based on Vista). It should be noted that the Milestone 1 build of Windows 7 was reported as using less system resources than Vista.
Windows Server 7 will be released along with Windows 7.

∙ 12y agoWindows7 has just been released and seems to be popular. That would lead me to suggest that another OS will not be released very soon. What Microsoft tend to do (from past history) is release an updated version.
There's talk of Windows8 but no details have been released.
Maybe a newer Server OS will be released soon??
