First 'Windows Vienna' details leaked online
For the second time in five weeks, information about a key upcoming Microsoft product has come to light because of a presentation placed on the company's website by an employee in Denmark. According to a PowerPoint presentation created by a technical staffer at Microsoft Denmark, the software vendor plans to invest in four major areas in the next client version of Windows after Vista, which has been dubbed Windows Vienna. Microsoft has already begun working on its next OS, and one executive indicated last month that the company hopes to ship the follow-on during 2009. Microsoft later issued a statement saying that it is "not giving official guidance to the public yet about the next version of Windows?.
The PowerPoint presentation, which is dated 31 January and can be accessed via Microsoft's download.microsoft.com site, was publicised today on AeroExperience, an independent blog aimed at Windows Vista developers.
