Refinements? Confusion? Must be Another Windows (Daily Break‪)‬

For an operating system that took five years to create, Windows Vista's reputation went down in flames amazingly quickly. Not since Microsoft Bob has anything from the software giant drawn so much contempt and derision. Not every company lives to see the day when its customers beg, plead and sign petitions to bring back the previous version of its flagship product. One thing's for sure: It won't take Microsoft five years to produce the next Windows. The company wants to put Vista behind it as soon as possible. In fact, the next version of Windows is almost here. It looks and works a lot like Vista. In fact, what Microsoft seems to be going for in Windows 7, due within the year, is "Vista, fixed."
