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.

I'm not making fun but it's pretty clear from your question you're new to computers.  Anyway, there is no Windows 6.1, at least that I know of.  Windows XP is version 5.1 technically speaking.  I suppose you could consider Vista version 6 but it won't be out until the end of the year.  Getting to your second part, what does word perfect have to do with Windows (the answer is nothing).  So either you are looking for some version of Windows that doesn't yet exist or Word Perfect.\n\nMore to the point if you have Windows 2000, you can upgrade to Windows XP but I doubt very much that computer will be able to handle Vista when it is released later this year.\n\nI tried to cover everything you asked but I really can't tell you how to do anything because what you said, it just doesn't make any sense.\n\nYou can't download any version of Windows or Word Perfect (at least not legally and certainly not for free).

Windows Vista is the next version of Microsoft Windows operating system, superseding Windows XP. It was previously known by its codename Longhorn, after the Longhorn Saloon, a popular bar in Whistler, British Columbia (see the other Microsoft codenames). The name "Vista" was unveiled on July 22, 2005. According to sources, the scheduled release date for Windows Vista is currently July 23, 2006. That release date is only scheduled for PC vendors so that systems will be made Vista-ready before Christmas. The general public availability is projected to be around late October to early November 2006, five years after the release of Windows XP, making this the longest time span between releases of desktop versions of Microsoft's Windows operating system.\n\nWindows Vista has many new features such as an updated graphical user interface called Aero, improved searching technology, a number of new security features, and completely new networking, audio, print, and display engines. Vista also aims to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network using peer-to-peer technology, making it easy to share files, password settings, and digital media between computers and devices. Windows Vista also has an entirely new development API, called WinFX, based on the .NET framework, which aims to make it significantly easier for developers to write high-quality applications than with WinFX's predecessor, Win32. In many ways, as Bill Gates has said, Windows Vista is the broadest and biggest update since Windows 95, which was released over ten years ago.\n\nWindows Vista will carry the version number 6.0 (Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 being Windows NT versions 5.0, 5.1, and 5.2, respectively).\n\nWindows Server "Longhorn", the successor to Windows Server 2003, is also under development, and will be based on the Windows Vista codebase. It is expected to be released in the first half of 2007.

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.

It depends on what you mean by "new software"...\nThere is a new OS (Operating System) that is to be officially released by Microsoft by the end of the year; Vista...There is also a new Office to be released too...\n\nHope I answered your questions...

It's slated to be released in late 2006 or early 2007. I'd bet late 2006, around the same time Windows Vista will be released.

unfortunately windows me does not have an upgrade, microsoft are even cutting off all development and support work for it early next month. why..? so that you can get the newer better windows XP or Vista, they consider these to be their better home user products and me is somewhat outdated and too much resources are going into supporting so they are encouraging users to switch.

Windows Vista is coming in early 2007.  You will be able to upgrade from XP Home to Vista Basic.  Vista has many flavors such as Basic, Ultimate etc.

It is difficult to determine what exactly, aside from security rollups will be included in Windows XP Service Pack 3.  In fact, Service Pack 3 is *not* currently available, and according to Microsoft's own Service Pack Roadmap, SP3 is not due out until the second half of the year 2007.\n\nI've included a link to their Service Pack Roadmap below.
