Microsoft executive Ty Carlson spoke about the future of Windows recently during a panel discussion at the Future in Review 2007 conference held in San Diego, California. Carlson said that future versions of Windows would have to be 'fundamentally different' in order to take full advantage of future CPUs that will contain many processing cores. "You're going to see in excess of eight, 16, 64 and beyond processors on your client computer," said Carlson, whose job title is director of technical strategy at Microsoft. Windows Vista, he said, was "designed to run on one, two, maybe four processors."

As someone else pointed out, Vista was supposed to be the big re-write. Add to that the comments from Microsoft that Vista would be the last time they did such a major change in and instead would do more incremental updates. I'm not seeing how they can do "fundementally different" if they are only going to expand upon what they have in Vista.
