Just a few days into the official announcement of Windows 7Steve Ballmer has now officially announced that Windows ൭ is using the code base of Windows Vista and that the next version is actually “Vista, a lot better saga”.
It is clear that Microsoft is not happy with the install base of Windows Vista, now reported at 180 million licenses, especially when XP is running on 800 million computers. Their new marketing campaign may not be enough to change the perception of Windows Vista and as such; releasing a major (called by Microsoft) Windows while using the Vista code base is the next logical step.
With this strategy, I think enterprises who have not yet moved into Vista may finally decide to wait for Windows 7 unless Microsoft offer some incentives on pricing upgrades from Vista to 7
