Makeshift Hammer Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I want them to call it "Sharon 50" or "Windows Magicist" or even better "We're still really sorry about Millenium, we SWEAR we'll never make that mistake again:###### Edition" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoop Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I thought it was going to be called "Windows Enhanced XP Edition"? Because it was going to be pronounced Windows E-XPedition (expedition) ...or was this a joke or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurmoth Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I still think it is going to be called Windows 2006. Nothing else in my mind sounds right, except maybe Windows.NET and since they are trying to get away from the whole .NET thing, that isn't going to happen.

LimpingForth Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I just realised, most pieces of software that are released near/at the end of a year usually have the next year after the name, and given that Longhorn will be coming out near the end of next year, I have the feeling that if anything MS will call it Windows 2007. Just a thought ;) . Also, I think I saw a while ago a representative of MS spoke on a forum saying that MS will not deviate from the Windows name because it is a registered trademark.

ALF Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 I think microsoft should move away from calling it "windows" this, I would like something new like Microsoft Desktop System 2006 585973893[/snapback] I like that, then we would have Microsoft Server System and Desktop system. It makes alot of sense, to me at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Releasing software at the end of the year with that years date will soon make it seem old. So, Windows 2007 would be more logical that 2006. Second, Microsoft is the Company, WINDOWS is the BRAND NAME. Also, business does not care what it's called, the board room never see it. It's just do they have to have it, and, if so, will it make the workers more productive. Also they have Enterprise agreements, don't they? So, there is a logical progression of upgrading.

Press any key Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 .net is dead its nothing more than a passport systyem and visual studio ... sorry for my mistrs i just had sergery on my eyes 585979997[/snapback] --------- I don't think it is '.net is dead' in-so-much as no one knows what it is. Like XAML. And you need about 25 meg of net framework installed also... Long live Borland Delphi - and Pack it! I heard they can't change millions of lines of code... so we go from Windows 95.. Longhorn will be :- Machine code, C, C++, and the GUI in C# .net. Something like that. Windows XP is only Windows NT anyway. I have an old PC that has Win 98 upgraded to ME and that says it is :- Windows Version 4.90. I have a newer PC with Windows XP and that says it is :- Windows NT Version 5.1 ***Therefore 'Longhorn' will be WINDOWS NT VERSION 6.0 Pig's Bum.. It's the 50 million retail boxes sitting on the shelves that people see... and need to be moved as soon as possible... So, you need WOW..COOL.. from the great unwashed..
