well heres my opinon the only best os to come from microsoft are the ones with the years in them eg

windows 95

windows 98

windows 2000

windows 2003

and look at all the failers

windows me :p

i say call it windows 2006 so much easier and understandable

i think they need to go the apple route and just name it windows 6 like someone said. simple names, no confusion about what is better increment the name. maybe even windows o/s 6. but just windows and the version would suffice and be simple. but the name vista is cool to me.

Vista? or ure username?

haha, seriously people get over the Vista username it doesn't reflect on the quality of the product in any way. We all know the development process and hard work of the programmers will give us our next version of windows and hopefully it will be as stable as possible. I for one like the name. Its not the best ever but it is growing on me.

Windows Vista: Makes me think that clarity, confidence and connectivity in Windows is a distant prospect. :p

Not a big fan of the name but like it matters, chances are I won't upgrade unless I still have my student license for msdn and get it free or download a volume license version off of p2p or something.
