Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 are out and have been for nearly two years,but much of the world still uses "Windows 5.5" -- XP and Server 2003, and yet rumor has it that we'll see another version of Windows in 2012.

Given buyers' current choice to adopt new versions of Windows slowly or not at all, is a new Windows a good idea or a bad one?  And, more important, if a new Windows COULD revivify the market, what would it need to include?  In this wide-ranging talk, veteran Windows watcher, 25-year columnist and bestselling author Mark Minasi presents his take on what the next Windows needs more of AND what that version of Windows needs LESS of.  Come for the laughs, but stay for the insights!
