Windows Vista??

So the cat's out of the bag (excuse the pun), Longhorn is officially going to be called "Windows Vista".

Are they trying to lose the bogged-down bloatware image or what?
Like a breath of air... ...from a car exhaust.

What do you think?


EDIT: Just for the record - I didn't put in option 4...

Sounds like a fleabag motel or somethin'.

I can just hear it now;

"Dude, you got Vista yet?"

"Who, me?" [Millenium Edition]

"No, Vista"

"Are you talkin ta me?"

"No, moron, Vista. Me was two gens ago"

"Vista where?"

"In your computer."

"In my computer?"

"Yea."

"It's a Dell, not a vista".

"Arrrrghh..."

[It would sound something akin to this diatribe. http://www.phoenix5.org/humor/WhosOnFirstAudio.mp3 ]

I don't see what the big deal is, they had to call it something, did you expect them to call is XP2?

yeah but vista?... come on... they can do better than that. it doesn't even sound good next to windows. "windowsvista"

vistas longhorn.. hm..
what about windows: outdated

I have the latest Windows Longhorn(Now Vista) beta, and it sucks.


[EDIT]And what the heck took them so long to decide when to release it? Mac has made, what 2 or 3 new OS vers in the time windows made 1, and around the time Vista comes out, Macs new OS will be out as well.

by the time it releases in 2038 it will crush os 9! i dont care WHAT YOU SAY!

Lol!!!!

Now... to give fair credit to MS here (which I rarely ever do).... The Tiger betas were horrible.

Yes, but did the Tiger beta take ~4 years to be released? ^_^
