What is the name of the new Windows OS that is being beta-tested at this time?

It is Windows Vista, which will probably be released around the end of the year.

The latest commercially available version of Windows is Windows XP Service Pack 2. As mentioned above, the next generation of Windows, Windows Vista, is currently in beta testing, but is not available to the general public. The last reports I saw had it due out for general sale in mid-to-late 2006.

Personally, I won't use any new tech until it's been out for at least a year. That allows time for other people to be the free beta testers for the company and work out the inevitable bugs. This is especially true with Microsoft and Intel, who are notorious for releasing buggy software. Just look how often we have to do 'security updates' with Windows now.

No, well not a current version. With out looking, I think NT 4.0 is the latest version availble on diskettes

MS has made them time limited, and they will expire after a set period of time. Personally, I found the Beta to be nothing but trouble. I wouldn't even try at this point if you haven't yet. It's buggy as hell. No wonder they have missed several launch dates and changed the name from Longhorn to Vista. Wait until they get it right (if they ever do). You'll sleep better.

That will be Windows Vista (codename Longhorn), originally scheduled for 2003 but was barely introduced for preview in mid-2005. It is scheduled to be released mid-2006. Screen shots are available on the Microsoft website.

Windows Vista. Beta version is available already. It will be even more "visual", transparent windows etc, --> requires a modern video adapter.

Windows 88?  Isn't that like, Windows 2.0?  Try Windows 3.11, it's newer.

Windows Vista is the next version of the Windows operating system after XP.  It is due to be released early in 2007 and is currently in limited beta testing.  It was intended to be released before the end of this year, but instead it is delayed to 1Q 2007.  Instead PC manufacturers will be selling 'Vista Capable' machines with a little Vista sticker and possibly a free upgrade with the PC.\n\nThe main features are added security, new hardware accelerated translucent UI, new digital rights management, etc.  You can read more about it on the Microsoft website.\n\nI'm currently running the beta version and so far I'm intrigued but not necessarily sold on everyone needing the new version.  It requires that you have a video accelerator as a minimum to do most things, and a relatively fast processor.  Most likely you'll need new hardware to run it unless you bought your PC very recently.
