Will Windows Vista's Delay Push Back 'Fiji'?
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft has a code name for the next version of Windows. But what is
| the planned delivery date for the product, as well as its successor,
| 'Vienna'? No one's talking, but plenty are speculating.

| Will the delay in Microsoft's Windows Vista have a domino effect on
| other planned releases of Windows?

| Partner sources close to the company said that Microsoft has sketched
| out plans for Windows "Fiji" (also referred to by some Microsoft watchers
| as Vista R2) ? the version of Windows set to follow Vista -- as for
| Windows "Vienna," the successor to Fiji, partner sources close to the
| company said.
