Also not using years in name makes sense. Imagine how would XP look in market today if they'd called it Windows 2001 ? :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Dee Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 For a long time I was thinking a name like Windows LS (lifestyle) or even Windows FS (futuristic system) would be the name.On a different topic, why was Windows named Windows? Is there a story on why Bill Gates (or whoever) named this operating system Windows? 586095547[/snapback] Because information is presented in frames on the screen, resulting in the name Windows. Also, before Windows had overlapping windows, you displayed them tiled viewed, which sorta looked like windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El_Cu_Guy Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 (edited) On a different topic, why was Windows named Windows? Is there a story on why Bill Gates (or whoever) named this operating system Windows? Because using it makes you wanna jump out one? Seriously though it describes the proposed UI. Gates, Allen and the rest of the gang just couldn't think of anything clever to call it Windows was originally called Interface Manager and used Multiplan and Word-like pull-down menus and dialogs. With the release of VisiOn and the impending release of TopView, Microsoft needed something. Basically, they hyped something that wasn't finished ("it will do this and will have that") and needed a name. knowing that it ships late in 2006....they will call it Windows 2007 for sure otherwise it will start sound rather old by the time WinFS ships. How late does it have to be released for it to be 2007 and not 2006? Win95 --> August Win98 --> June Not all that important but Windows 2000 and 2003 were released in Feb and Apr respectively. It's wouldn't be the first time MS has released some type software late in the year and used the date it was released.

Its Windows NG (Next Generation), lets just accept it. The bad names will come: No Good, Not Great, No Gaaaad!!!, (No, Gross). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Dee Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 Longhorn has the NT 6.0 kernel, Blackcomb has the NT 7.0 kernel 586153719[/snapback] Who says Blackcomb's kernel is version 7? Remember, its only known as a server release for now, which could possibly make it either a 6.1 or 6.5 release of Windows Server in the future. Yes, there is speculation of a client accompaning it, but it will probably be minor (possibly just to refresh system level features to support the distributed computing initiative and authentication features of Blackcomb Server), since Longhorn is the platform upon which Microsoft will go forward with client Windows for the next 10 to 15 years, this probably means you won't see a drastic change to the client until either 2016 or 2021. But that doesn't mean you want see a lot interim releases of Windows over the next 10 to 15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
