The folks at Redmond have long pointed to the user interface of the next generation Windows release as one of its major selling points. Now, Microsoft has chosen an official name for Longhorn with just that in mind. Enter: Windows Vista.
Vista seems to be a common name for applications nowadays. The company I work for has an application called Vista. They then have Vista Workstation, Vista Server and Vista Webstation.
Haha, look at the pic in the first link "This goes out to all my homies of Redmond"
man windows vista is such a crap name... someone in the naming dept needs to be shot and quartered...
I don't see what is wrong with the name Longhorn myself
That's a fair comment Leo.
I wonder what everyone else would name a new MS OS?
I personally thought that MS lost the plot once they announced "Windows Millennium".
Windows " insert newest hip slang here "
Countdown to Windows upgrade = 2 years + 2 Service Packs
Maby they couldn't Trademark Longhorn
Yeah, the Longtom corporation has trademarked all Long names...Longhorn, Longhand, Longhat.......
I think "Windows Buttcrack" would be a good name
