I think M$ means is Vista is the last Windows with the current kernel technology. Apple made a bold move and went away from earlier technology to Unix. Smart move, it provides many advantages, especially in security and stability. I think M$ is thinking along those lines.
The current Windows technology has long past lived its life out. Modern computing requires rethinking, and M$ realizes that.
I read an article not long ago, I think on Tech Rep web site that stated early Windows was never met to be on the internet. As internet become available for consumers M$, like others, just added internet technology to existing Operating System. XP and Vista are still based on the older technology, and the article went on to say, M$ has taken their current technology beyond its usefulness.
