Next Windows OS to ship within the next three years

Market analysts must be claiming that Vista OS would become the last major OS release by Microsoft as software and applications are increasingly moving to the web making the OS not so relevant any more.

However, market sources have now said that the company is likely to unveil their next OS release within the next three years.

It took the company around seven years to launch the Vista OS as they struggled with delays in the development process.

The next Windows OS is being called Windows 7 internally and it is likely to ship in consumer and business versions, and in 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

Microsoft is also considering launching a subscription based model for this next edition though not many details are available.

However, the next major software release from the company is expected to be the Service Pack 1 of Windows Vista OS.
