You should try to get in touch with Microsoft. That first one is really nice looking and very professional, definately a good canidate for a box cover (maybe with a few minor tweaks).

Neowin Member: "OMG LOLz, teh name is teh stoopid!!! Microsoft are teh stupid!!!!"

Sensible Observer to Neowin Member: "The article clearly states the rumor status of this speculative branding. This may or may not be a candidate name for Windows Codename Longhorn. Let's all hope that it is not."

Umm, everybody trashing Inquirer seems to have short term memory lapse !  :rofl: Most of their news turns out true, heck even Neowin uses them as "source" for various newstories.

Wasnt Inquirer the first to post that Whistler was going to named XP ?

It sounds like a name Homer Simpson would come up with.

If Microsoft is really contemplating this name, then their marketing gurus with their ponytails and chardonnay should "do lunch" a bit less and take a visit to the real world.
