Vista sounds rubbish. They should have called it something like XP 2008 (when it finally comes out), Windows LH, Windows Xtra, Windows Futr, ect...

Face it Microsoft. Vista sounds GAY. You go up to a company and say. Would you like to purchase Ultimate Edition? WTF? Ultimate Edition? Sounds like what a 7 year old might call it. es, just reference

I like the new name. Loghorn reminds me of Foghorn Longhorn.

Default RE: Windows Vista
It was Longhorn

I don't think that Vista is a very good name, but now Microsoft have advertised it a lot I don't think they can change it.

Tell me about it. I'm sure a few smart people can call it something besides Vista.

Default RE: Windows Vista
Longhorn isnt the replacement name for Vista. Vista is just another operating system software like windows XP or windows ME. Longhorn is the codename for all the new gadgets that Microsoft is planning to ship out in november.

Welcome to another skin change boys!

OK, "So here at microsoft we pride ourselves at ripping off our costumers by putting some new crappy, worthless $0.50 skin on our Windows System, ohh and we add some annoying security alerts and some messed up virus protection that requires validation or some crap along the way..."

This blog entry kinda says it all about Vista tbh, http://blogs.sun.com/ChrisM/date/20060829

Anyway, I guess if you like playing with Windows let it be, but if you want a real OS get a Unix based one, Mac is pretty good, but remember Linux exist too!
