Since Windows 7 has been released to public, Microsoft has started working on the next Windows version which is codenamed as "Windows 8" at the moment.
"Stephen Chapman" @ Microsoft Kitchen posted a Windows roadmap which clearly shows that Windows 8 is scheduled to release in 2012. Microsoft has also mentioned in past that it'll try to keep a fixed 3 years gap between future Windows releases and it seems that they are really working hard to maintain this gap.

As you can see in the above roadmap, Windows 8 is mentioned as "Major Release" and is scheduled for 2012. The most interesting thing to notice in this rodamap is that Windows 7 is mentioned as "Release Update".
Just wait and watch this place for upcoming Windows 8 news and updates and also share your wishlists for Windows 8.

i think vista and 7 is slightly the same because 7 is from vista, as said on the picture above they did not release windows vista, so they upgrade vista and the product of it is win7.
