Longhorn's new name: Windows Vista

Posted by: duke on: 07/25/2005 03:51 PM [ Print | 10 comment(s) ]

We've been covering issues related to Windows Longhorn for several months now, so you shouldn't be to surprised that we decided to post a link to this article at C|Net.
The next version of Windows finally has an official name: Windows Vista. The advertising tagline for Vista is "Clear, Confident, Connected: Bringing clarity to your world," according to a video of the announcement posted by Microsoft.
What do you think? While you're stewing over the name, read the entire article.

With MS previously using the Rolling Stones "Start Me Up", maybe this time around we'll see Arnold Schwarzenegger telling consumers (in Austrian accent):

Personally, I really wish they would have returned to either:
a.) "Windows NT" + a version number ("Windows NT 6" in this case I suppose) or
b.) "Windows" + a year ("Windows 2006")

The name "Windows Vista" sounds like a good name to me (certainly better than "XP"), but my problem is that there is nothing inherent in it that indicates that it is the version of Windows directly after XP. Even "Windows YQ" would have been better. It sounds stupid, but it makes more sense.

As far as the other company that already has a trademark on "Vista"...Microsoft will probably do the same thing they did in the case of Lindows. They'll shop around (the world if necessary) until they find a friendly court to rule that they are allowed to steal somebody else's trademark just because they have better than 90% operating system penetration!

I doubt it will make it all of the way through the court system. Vista will probably end up just going the way of CompuGlobalHyperMegaNet.

"Buy him out boys!"

The pathetic state of our government will never change unless we stop electing politicians and start electing public servants. Remember: There was once a time when the term "politician" had a very negative connotation.

Actually, considering the major speed and security improvements, maybe it should be called:

Windows BTE


That's Windows Ball-Tearer Edition...
