Radium Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Windows 95, 98 and 2000 had the best names. Simple names that are easy to understand and remember. Windows 2006? Windows 2006 Home Windows 2006 Professional Windows 2006 Server/../.. etc. Why would you need a fancy word that doesn't mean anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylejn Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Can't be real. No way Microsoft will compare their OS to a soccer mom's SUV. Or would they...? Just call it Windows 2006.

416_guy Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Windows Experience sounded stupid 3-4 years ago, whatever the name will be for longhorn it will sound stupid at first but eventually you will get use to it, I just think it's a psycological thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
