I found it in Wikipedia:
Windows Vista is the scheduled next version of Microsoft Windows operating system, superseding Windows XP. It was previously known by its codename Longhorn, after the Longhorn Saloon, a popular bar in Whistler, British Columbia (see the other Microsoft codenames). The name "Vista" was unveiled on July 22, 2005. According to sources, the scheduled release date for Windows Vista is currently July 23, 2006. That release date is only scheduled for PC vendors so that systems will be made Vista-ready before Christmas. The general public availability is projected to be around late October to early November 2006, five years after the release of Windows XP, making this the longest time span between releases of desktop versions of Microsoft's Windows operating system.
Windows Vista has many new features such as an updated graphical user interface called Aero, improved searching technology, a number of new security features, and completely new networking, audio, print, and display engines. Vista also aims to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network using peer-to-peer technology, making it easy to share files, password settings, and digital media between computers and devices. Windows Vista also has an entirely new development API, called WinFX, based on the .NET framework, which aims to make it significantly easier for developers to write high-quality applications than with WinFX's predecessor, Win32. In many ways, as Bill Gates has said, Windows Vista is the broadest and biggest update since Windows 95, which was released over ten years ago.
Windows Vista will carry the version number 6.0 (Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 being Windows NT versions 5.0, 5.1, and 5.2, respectively).
Windows Server "Longhorn", the successor to Windows Server 2003, is also under development, and will be based on the Windows Vista codebase. It is expected to be released in the first half of 2007.
Windows Vista is the newer version of Windows XP. I have Windows XP programmed on my computer, I'm not going to upgrade to a newer version of Vista. It has the same desktop, same features, same internet with the new Internet Explorer 7. Plus lots more. I like to hear what it sounded like is the new Windows Vista sound where you can turn on your computer before starting up the main desktop. Here it is.
