Microsoft Windows Vista

[yudi_lks]

Why microsoft always follows Apple... When apple released Mac OS X, they named their OS Windows XP... Then recently apple release Tiger with a spotlight in their logo, Windows Vista's logo has the spotlight as well... Can't believe this.... Sighh

I think its cool :). if you don't like it, what can you do about it. :rofl:

[HimalayaJoe]

I quite like it. I preferred Longhorn, but Vista will grow on me. However, I feel I'm going to call it WinVI or Windows6 rather than Vista. Although then again...

[futb0l]

:yes: I like it. Longhorn is not a good name.

[Hankyone]

more i hear it and more i think its a GREAT name :woot: love it

asta la vista, Longhorn!

[Erftek]

This is the first thing I thought of when i heard the name [link] :pinch:

[dhavalhirdhav]

I liked name... Windows Vista

[RedSpace]

No way.  XP is short and sleek.  Vista isn't.

Windows XP is short for Windows eXperience

how short and sweet is that?

[cropcircles]

Hillarious.. Vista is horrible. It sounds like all the cheap nasty housing communities they've thrown up the last ten years.

I know what it's short for but nobody, including Microsoft, calls it "Windows Experience" for christs sake. It's simply Windows XP, get over it.

[nx01]

Vista? Sounds like something amatuerish... Lognhorn was far more better name.... :p

Vista will grow on you. Give it time.

For those saying "[H]asta la vista", it's not funny. Why? Because that's said "Vee sta", this is said "vi sta" (short i). So it doesn't make sense.

And names of cat breeds don't sound like ridiculous names for an operating system to you?  :unsure:

Technically the cat names of OS X are codenames. But Apple choose names of big cats to signify power, elegance and beauty - all of the things OS X is. I know Microsoft used "Vista" because it means visualise or something like that, and it's a good idea, but not everyone knows what the word vista means.

Anyway, let's not turn this into another Apple vs MS thread. Sorry to be off topic.

[vcv]

Yep. Or more accurately, a turd by any other name...

:whistle:

;)

Seriously, keep that childish stuff out of here.

[the_snitch]

VISTA: Village Idiot's Solution To Apple

:laugh:

[SamNeeds]

I made it, and posted it a few pages back...where'd you find it? Apart from the obvious few pages back? On another forum or something?

I think it's ok. The name doesnt really matter, but it kinda sits well with MS' vision (as far as i understand it), And i think thats better than the name sitting ok with a bunch of fanboys.

Awful name, it should be like xp, two letters its short and sophisticated. Microsoft had the best idear until this name:

Windows 3.1

Windows 95

Windows 98

Windows ME

Windows XP

What do these all have in commen, well thay all have two letters. and now they want to change that to a name which is just stupid. They proabably thought how you rip someone off with there creditcard, e.g a VISA and then added a letter. This name is just plane awful. :no:
