Yes, it is true that MS will replace Vista. Just the matter of when.
Depends on your definition of "near future"

I believe it will be sometime in 2010.

No, not in the "near future". Of course there will be a newer version of
Windows someday, but it is years away. Don't hold your breath!

Thank you, all. I don't have any issues with Vista but the comment
came up during the family get-together today.

Well, yeah - we all know how accurate Microsoft's release date schedules
are! Even if it does manage to come out in 2010 (4th quarter?), it will be
at least another year before SP1 comes out, and Windows releases are never
seriously looked at until SP1, so that means late 2011/early 2012 time
frame.

Of course, then we will be seeing the predictable "Why is Windows 7 such a
pig/slow/incompatible? Vista is so lean and mean and fast and runs
everything! Now is the time to switch to Linux! Microsoft's days are
numbered!" posts here. Just like we saw with the 3.1 to 95 transition, the
NT 4 to 2000 transition, the 98/2000 to XP transition and the current XP to
Vista transition.

Some things never change.

Not until 2010 At The Earliest, Microsoft Does Plan 2 Discontinue
Support 4 Windows XP In 2009, However, Leaving Many Computer Users With
The Difficult Decision Of Either Upgrading 2 Windows Vista Service Pack
One Or Converting Over 2 Open Source Linux, Also Just FYI.

You are so right. The same whiners who castigate Vista today will be signing
"save Vista" petitions in 2010 or 2011.
