Will Windows 7 get a new name for its release?

Ed Bott from ZDNet writes:

"I'm reading more and more about Windows 7 lately as PDC approaches and Microsoft begins revealing more snippets of information about its most secretive product ever. In most of that coverage, I've noticed an assumption that Windows 7 is going to be the final name of the product. I've been guilty of leaping to that conclusion myself.

But a reader asked the other day why Microsoft is calling it Windows 7, and as I worked on my response to that question, it struck me that it's entirely possible, even likely, that the next release of Windows will get a new name before it hits the streets. (Keep reading, and I'll give you a chance to compare your prediction with mine.)"

They are building upon the Vista kernel, so it is not new.

I actually like the name Windows 7. It has a good ring to it. I'm tired of all these crazy names that really mean nothing.

[SoIid Snake]

Yeah. Windows Vista Service Pack 2. Because that's exactly what it looks like.

They do the GUI last btw and Windows 7 will not look the same as Vista.

[Motion]

They already stated that they are keeping the same look as Vista for Windows 7

Giving a Pile of Sh!t a new name wont help the fact that its still a pile of Sh!t..
