Microsoft Announces Name for New Windows

No, unfortunately, Longhorn will not be the name for the Windows operating system, as much as attendees and graduates of the University of Texas might like it to be. No, the new name for Windows will be: ... "Windows Vista." Personally, I think that Vista is a more creative name than the number/letter designations that Windows has gotten so far. XP was kind of cool, but Vista implies a new view, a perspective, or it does for me anyway.

    Wayne, I disagree. The naming convention where it is Windows, followed by the year, seems better to me. Just at a glance, one is able to discern which Windows OS is more recent, more buggy, all the usual Microsoft flaws. This idea of giving the new OS some other "purty" name is a marketing gimmick, nothing more.
