Windows Weekly // Episode 14?

windows weekly logo

Looks like Paul Thurott is superstitious a bit, or maybe it’s an homage to the lack of a “13th” dev path for a Microsoft OS, but this is Windows Weekly episode 14, not episode 13. Anyway, on this episode, Paul and Leo discuss Microsoft’s plans for releasing another new OS in only two years instead of the five between XP and Vista, and current development of the new OS is already kicking off- its name? “Vienna.” Interesting. They take a look at sales figures for Vista so far, and look back at some of the better launch events, because after all, regardless of what OS you use or computer you buy, geeks love to party. All this and more.
