Prediction 11 for 2008 was:

11) Microsoft really starts hyping the idea of ‘Windows 7′ as Apple continues to grow more quickly and Vista continues to be an albatross
Vista usage will obviously continue to grow, but only because it is bundled with new PCs. They’ll improve it slightly, but will not be able to shake its association with failure. Instead their tune will turn to the next OS and making it the best one based on “all they’ve learned” from Vista. Meanwhile people will continue to switch to the Mac platform whether it be via desktop, laptop, sub-laptop, or mobile device (iPhone, iTablet, etc…).

Guess what is getting introduced in a matter of days? A product which wasn’t supposed to be out until 2010. It’s still 2008 and developers will be walking away with a beta version of it. A product which will in fact be called Windows 7.

I ask again, what ever happened to Vista?
