If you bought a brand new computer with Windows Vista on it, you can probably expect your next computer to also have Vista on it too.
The first generation of Vista powered computers has mostly been under powered. Even with dual core processors and a gigabyte of RAM most computers with Vista perform at an acceptable speed at best.
This week Intel and AMD each announced new processors that will run at speeds double that of systems currently on the shelves. Why do we need that much speed? Vista.
AMD and Intel each made mention that the new processors will have the power that Vista demands. In other words each company essentially said that current processors are under powered when it comes to the demands of Vista.
In addition, Microsoft hopes to have the next version of Windows out before 2011. In fact their target year is 2009, but that won't happen unless it is Windows Vista Second Edition.
