im hoping they go for outright performance, never tried 7 yet as vista is doing me fine at the moment, but same here dont have a clue whats next after 7, which isnt released yet, talk about future planning:D:D
 
No doubt they'll come up with some new way of naming it - windows naming conventions never last more than a release or two.

1-3.11,
95/98,
2000
xp,
vista,
windows 7
Plus all the NT, server 2003 etc which match no better than the consumer versions

1-3.11 are linked, 95 and 98 are linked. I guess you could argue that ME and XP are linked, although XP doesn't stand for anything.

My guess is that we'll get "Windows FusionExplode XL+"
 
windows 8 - looking like a progression of windows 7 with some bits that weren't ready for w7

MS team already start to development Windows 8 last April and may come out in 2012 or later so Windows 8 still name on it and maybe MS change new name or stick as Windows 8 - still too early to say as Windows 7 still not come out until 22nd October.
