Windows Microsoft has changed the code-name for the next version of Windows after Vista from 'Blackcomb' to 'Vienna', according to company evangelist and blogger Robert Scoble. Blackcomb was named back in 2000, when Windows XP was still known as Whistler. But Microsoft says it needed a name that fit the 'Vista' theme.
