Windows Vista successor scheduled for a H2 2009 release?

And now for the rumors behind the news:

TG Daily - Windows Vista successor scheduled for a H2 2009 release?

The writing is a little goofy but within may be a *ahem* "kernel" of truth...

So that means the actual launch comes in 2012 or so...?

No no! Not 2012. 2009.

It will be released in the second half of 2009 and windows vista will be pulled from the shelves at the same time.

The new windows vienna operating system will be crammed down everyone's throat just like vista has been over the past year. The stockholders and executives demand it! It does not matter if it works or not! All that matters is that people are forced to buy it to keep up the executive bonus pay program and the stock dividend payments.

The marketeers at M$ will handle everything that needs to be done with a new operating system that does nothing new. Yep. The new plan at M$ is to continue to regularly sell new $400.00 operating systems that do nothing new for the user.

the next OS will be downloaded onto our systems without our consent (probably as part of a 'Critical' Update) and we will be oblivious to it---a virtual reality OS MS has codenamed SkyNet
