TheNay Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I heard longhorn may only be usable for 64-bit users in the end. If thats the case i'm sure it would be named something to do with 64-bits. Windows NG (Next Generation) is what I like. I can see it now. "Microsoft Windows NG, bringing you the next generation in computing!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smart001 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I think it will be called..."Just another few hundred dollars down the drain in order to keep up with technology and have your computer slowly taken over by MSFT while still being able to talk to the other 90% of computers in the world!" I think thta has a nice ring to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
