In 5-10 years, Microsoft are likely to retire Windows anyway. Windows still relies on its operating system using the hardware within the computer to allow it to do tasks, whilst the trend nowadays is to move towards virtualisation (i.e. using computer program instructions to do this job). After Vista, there'll probably be one more version of Windows before Midori (the successor) is brought out.
