"Can we call Windows 8 the new Vista? Not so fast, analyst says." Call it what you want. That's what they call it inside of Microsoft.

nathan: this is according to someone who thrives on page views and ad words revenues to pay their bills. the more controversial the article title the more likely it will be read, syndicated, retweeted etc
nathan: well I work inside Microsoft and I've never heard anyone call it the new Vista.
Buzz Bumble: There was a news story last week that Microsoft is planning to call the next update "Windows 9" (rather than 8.2 or whatever) to escape the mess they created with Windows 8.

You say this about any negative Microsoft connotations from anyone who publishes online. You are entirely correct, but it doesn't mean what they're saying isn't true either.

MackinNZ: I predict this thread will be split into those people who don't like Windows 8.x agreeing with Thurrott and those who don't mind it disagreeing.
Everyone's a bit biased, few people are capable of being truly objective.
