What will be the first alphabet of Microsoft's next operating system?

Forecast: Q - T (20% chance )
Combining all predictions, the current most likely outcome is Q - T with a probability of 20% (unchanged in last 1 day)

Eg- In case of Vista it is '' v ".
In case of XP it is " x ".
The name does not refer to a codename(eg: Longhorn for Vista) but to the final name , when product is commercially launched.

The name without a leading "Windows",
eg. In case of "Microsoft Windows Vista" it is "Vista" thus "v",
eg. In case of "Microsoft Windows XP" it is "XP" thus "x",
eg. In case of "Microsoft Windows 7" it is "7" thus "Not an alphatbet"
right?

The article refers to a server system and it is a codenames . No codename allowed .
One more thing , if Microsoft does name a OS by a number then I am sure they will act lazy and let it remain a no. instead of representing it as a word.

I'm not sure if its the code name, but surely it is subject to change. BTW, it is the vista successor, thus a client OS:

The alphabet is almost certainly going to be the English alphabet. I'm sure you meant, "Which letter of the alphabet ..."
