'''Windows Seven''' (previously known as "Vienna" [formerly known as "Blackcomb"]) is the name for the next version of Microsoft's Windows operating system, originally announced in February 2000, but has since been subject to major delays such as Windows XP SP2 and Windows Vista (which was also delayed by XP SP2). [[Microsoft]] has stated that "Seven" should be released on October 22, 2009. Work on Windows Seven began right after Windows Vista was released. As of May 2007, the name of the operating system used by Microsoft is unknown, though "Windows Seven" was noted in a job posting as a possible working name for the project, and is the only name by which the next version of Windows can currently be called.

Microsoft has declined from discussing details about Windows Seven in public as they focus on the release and selling of Windows Vista, though some early details of a few core operating system features have surfaced at developer conferences such as WHEC in 2006.
