Windows 7: The Anti-Vista

October 17, 2008 RSS Feed Print

Microsoft seems to be looking past troubled Windows Vista, with even CEO Steve Ballmer suggesting "Windows 7 will be Windows Vista, but much better."

That could lead to marketing that would be better than the mishmash that's trying to steel Vista's image, writes Mary Jo Foley in the All About Microsoft blog:

... "Windows 7: Vista done right" is kind of catchy.... Or there's always "Windows 7: The Anti-Vista."

Looking ahead, I'd suggested the 10th version of Windows could be "Windows X."

Just call it "Windex," says a reader.
