So, the good folks over at OpenNetCF are having a contest.

Visually Stunning User Interfaces

Windows “7″ FAQ

With Windows Vista finally behind us, it’s time to turn our attention to the next Windows client release, which is currently codenamed Windows “7″, though Microsoft has used other code-names, like “Vienna” and “Windows Seven” in the past. Despite an almost complete lack of verifiable information about this next major Windows release, there are at least two excellent reasons to begin discussing this project now:

1. This Web site, the SuperSite for Windows, is dedicated to discussing upcoming Microsoft products, so it’s only natural that I’d post a FAQ like this as soon as possible.

2. Microsoft isn’t particularly interested in discussing Vienna yet. “The launch of Windows Vista was an incredibly exciting moment for our customers and partners around the world, and the company is focused on the value Windows Vista will bring to people today,” Kevin Kutz, a Director in the Windows Client group at Microsoft said on February 13, 2007. “We are not giving official guidance to the public yet about the next version of Windows, other than that we’re working on it. When we are ready, we will provide updates.” This quote was provided after I wrote a WinInfo article denouncing recent news reports about Vienna, all of which provided absolutely no new information at all.

Clearly, what’s needed is a central location for accurate information about Vienna. This is it.
