soypowered Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 I don't feel like reading all 31 pages (at the time of posting) sorry if this has been already posted.... Howabout Windows 190 (Since they say Longhorn is going to be just as big as 95 was, 95 x2, get it?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daxbash5000 Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 umm lets see here, I think from what i've seen in the leaks of Longhorn... Microsoft may be dropping the Windows name all together. If you'll notice on the loadup screen for Longhorn it says "Microsoft Codename Longhorn" Windows XP Service Pack 3 that's a good name i've heard around the net Microsoft Longhorn Windows Longhorn those would be nice if they would just stick with it Windows <incert gay abbreviation here> this is prolly what we'll end up seeing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'll notice on the loadup screen for Longhorn it says "Microsoft Codename Longhorn" This is what you base your assumption on!?! Refresh my memory, Whistler refered to as Whistler and not Windows Whistler?" Gee uh duhh.Windows XP Service Pack 3that's a good name i've heard around the net Where you see that? Apparently they didn't read that MS was quoted as saying that an XP SP3 was very likely before the release of shorthorn. Whatever it's called there will be plenty of Microsoftites camping out to grab the "very first copy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zone-MR Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 (edited) Microsoft Windows Enchanced eXperience Client Operating System 2006 built on Longhorn Technology. In all seriousness [Productname] [Year] is the best system. Whilst Windows 2006 sounds rather dull, it avoids confusion and doesn't make naming future versions a pain. If they go for something like Windows NG [Windows Next Generation], what will they do when it's old news in 2012? Call the new windows version "Windows ENG [Even Newer Generation]"?. This will only cause confusion. I can see people in 10 years trying to figure out if NG was before or after NX, and if the 2010 version was supeceeded by XT or GX. Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows NG.... noone can complete the sequence or know what the release order was from simply looking at the product names.

wutang01 Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Shouldn't it be about time ... when Microsoft stops naming their OS by years? Just call the operating system "Windows Longhorn" i'd say. Also ... I reckon Nokia should stop naming their phones with 4-digit numbers ... (they're bound to run out sometime) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
