this is already in the Windows OS section, but probably deserves to be in the news as well

hm. I dont particularly like the name..or hate it for that matter. But 12 days 'til beta! woot! I'm gonna try it out, who else is?
not a fan of the name. not sure why, just longhorn sounds much better. to each their own i guess. as long as the os isn't ungodly slow i will be okay with it.

Vista = Vision or View in spanish.
Cra**y name combination
BTW, WTH are these Microsoft rep. doing pointing like that
Are they doing some "check out the view" ponting dance move
Turok, believe it or not, but I think they've descent all the way down to hip hop. Perhaps that's an ongoing internal rap battle?
And yea, about the name, why not just keep Longhorn? Longhorn has become widely accepted and recongnized throughout the people of the world, I think keeping that name would have been a smarter PR move (or at least spun further on it). That new name just shouts "alianate me" at us. Office Vista? Hell no!
im going to have the beta, and well so far all the builds are nice so lets wait

^^ Of course, if they kept Longhorn, you'd have to refer to yourself as currently using Windows Whistler.
Longhorn was a codename amongst developers, just like Whistler was for xp. It needed a real name...Granted, this might not have been my first choice...Whatever, Vista it is.
That is all.
Peace and love.
I thought that Longhorn was the official name for it, guess not then, that's sad, i kinda like that name. But Vista COME ON
HASTA LA VISTA M$ HASTA LA oh no

They were ("Odyssey," "Neptune," "Mars") for a while, and before that they were using city names ("Chicago," "Detroit," "Memphis"). But now they've turned to mountain names: Whistler and Blackcomb are popular ski resorts a few hours from Seattle, located in British Columbia, and Longhorn, the next interim release, is a tavern at the base of Whistler mountain. However, the space names continue with other projects: The new Whistler user interface found in Windows XP was code-named "Luna."
getting the beta 1 release so close maybe vista is just th beta name

I don't like the Vista name, but one thing I tell you for sure - all of us WILL get used to it, as there IS NOT a way to ignore M$ products if you don't like the name LOL

Yeah, thats what mostly s**ks about M$Originally Posted by DZVlad
They buy off everything and everything becomes compatible to M$
If this new Windows ends up buggy, then technology is progressing slow since SSE3, 64-bit, Dual core, and all that stuff will still s**k
Takes a hell of a lot of time for a next OS to release
Several OS in between Win 98 and Win XP have s**ked and werent really woth updating
Would be nice to hear from some Beta users
wat u mean beta, will it just be like XP, will everything work on it?

Totally never made the connection between the Longhorn in BC and M$. BTW the drive is about 6 hours from Seattle, but worth it for the skiing.Originally Posted by leviathan18
Vista is a terrible name. SHould have been Window's 2005, paying homage to Win 95.
"Vista" = "Chicken" in Latvian
