Windows Blackcomb

Windows Blackcomb is the code name for an upcoming version of Microsoft Windows. It is due sometime between 2010 - 2012, following the predicted release of Windows Longhorn in 2006. It will have both a version for the client, or average user, and servers.

At the time of Windows XP's (NT 5.1) official release, Blackcomb was to be its successor. However, its introduction was pushed back several years after announcement of an interim version called Windows Longhorn.

Blackcomb is likely to include any new features Microsoft cannot release with Windows Longhorn.
