This reminds me of a couple years ago when I heard that the new NFL expansion team in Houston would be called the Texans. Millions of dollars were most likely spent, and that’s the best they could come up with?

Ok… This just suggests that MS is run by a whole bunch of old guys. How poetic a name is Vista? I’m in Florida so I think of lake Buena Vista. Windows isn’t a resort in my mind.

I think I’ve figured out the appeal I find in Linux. It doesn’t get old. I mean, Windows Vista. If I actually have to ask people what version they have, (98, XP, Vista) I’m gonna chuckle everytime I pop the question.

Bottom Line: I Can’t Believe they would go with something so boring.

See, this is why I like linux, cool name.
I mean, it has the letter ‘x’ right in there. At the end as well, so it stands out.

Vista is how you say “Sight” in Portuguese. So the by-the-letter translation of Windows Vista is Windows Sight.

Personally I thought Longhorn was a step down from “Palledin”, Vista is downright sorry for a OS name.

Yeah, I prefer LH over “Vista” too. Not that LH is that great as much as “Vista” rather sucks as a name.

Not digging the new name. Personally I like “Longhorn” way better. It might just be because I’m accustomed to “Longhorn”, though.
