Yes, it will be an operating system. Microsoft says that it will be our in 2009, but my guess is that it will come out a bit later, after the delay of Vista. I imagine the beta testing will start in like late 2008 to 2009.

Vienna, (aka "Windows 7") is a code name. It is was Vista was suppose to be. It is built on the Code name "blackcomb" that Microsoft was working on a few years ago though (which branched out into Longhorn, which became Vista).

Yes, it can be confusing when different sources have conflicting information. But I try to sort through it, and post what I find that seems more or less true here.
