This Day:

The next version of the Windows Operating System (codenamed LongHorn) has finally got a new name: Windows Vista. A Beta version will be available on August 3, according to Microsoft.

The new Operating System should a) launch applications 15% faster than Windows XP does, b) boot PCs 50 % faster than they boot currently and will allow PCs to resume from standby in two seconds, c) allow users to patch systems with 50% fewer reboots required, d) reduce the number of system images required by 50%, and e) enable companies to migrate users 75% faster than they can with existing versions of Windows.
On the security front, it will deliver more than a dozen new security enhancements. New security features include everything from Network Access Protection quarantining and browser lock-down, to protected user accounts and anti-malware protection.
But I am quite sure new viruses and bugs will continue to plague this version of Windows as well, as similar promises were made before the launch of Windows XP too ;).

I do try it out:). I will install the new version on another partition, and compare the performance of the two operating systems (happens more with Linux than with Windows). But more often than not, faster computers appear on the market, which come with the latest Windows anyway.
