xxdesmus Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 I think that they should lose the Windows prefix.It's only classed as Windows because of the explorer/progman/filemanager shell that's used. Which is only an app on top of the operating system. They should just call it Microsoft Longhorn OS, or something. Ditch the windows. Who's to say in a few years that people won't find a better way of working without windows, with them as 3d shapes, or circles or whatever. they will likely never ditch the Windows prefix because it's a product name at this point. The same person who buys Windows XP wouldn't know what Microsoft XP was... Windows is a common recognizable name. Windows LH --> I'd guess if I had to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinnie Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I'd guess they'll go with the two letter acronym. I liked Whistler for a name but I figured they weren't gonna keep it since Windows Whistler just didn't sound right. Windows 6 may sound good if you're a geek who gets off about stuff like that, but since most people ain't counting, they won't do that. Maybe version numbers may be useful but since a new version of Windows don't exactly come out every month, everyone will remember which version is which by the name. I would like to see it called Longhorn since the LH fits with the two letter thing and so does the name Blackcomb and it all fits with MS trying to relate their products to all this nature stuff, like having all those scenic backgrounds bundled with it, and that people using laptops are always outside and people using PCs are always near a large sunny window. This might suggest that MS plan to use the two letter thing in future and use the beta names but I can't really imagine them releasing a futuristic version of windows called Windows BC. All in all I'd like to see it called Longhorn, I don't think they'll go with the year anymore, it'll be a two letter acronym and I'm pretty sure there'll be an X in it, or some other letter that those board room types think we all like, like Q or Z.

Vice Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 It will be called Windows 2006. At-least thats what I think. and steve ballmer agrees (I don't mean the real guy I got a sock puppet but enough about baldy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j.r.l. Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Winblows LH. Windows is really **** for a coder of developper or an office worker since it's unstable, **unsecure** (depending on how you use it). For some home users it's an awesome OS (yes it... it's awesome but I don't use it for all the bad stuff... I just stick to Debian for regular work). Winblows would be good... PS: They should change the Window style logo to a Minesweeper bomb exploding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayamaniac Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 After looking at all suggestions, I combined all the great ideas, so it should be called: Windows.Net.XP.NG.LH.XT Client System 2006 But my suggestion is: The Wavy Flag OS ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
