[ZappBrannigan]

MS will probably sue em lol

[insanekiwi]

horrible name. matches the uglyass gui design.

[kinetix63 Veteran]

Well I for one think the name is relatively good. Having seen the logo, and the marketing - I think it could work out quite well!

And InsaneKiwi - the GUI is **BETA** Microsoft has already said that we won't see anything near the final GUI until Beta 2, so who cares what it looks like now!

[AXiao]

i think most of the people will end up calling it windows 6...

[thecat2000]

Think they should well have just called it 'Windows XP Second Edition' :D what with all the new features they have taken out of Longhorn and all.

[PureLogic]

wow some people have a really hard time comprehending that Longhorn was the codename of Windows Vista. The second the name Longhorn was announced it was set that the name will be dropped eventually for the final name.

Same goes for Windows XP's codename Whistler and every other Windows codename for that matter.

To make a long story short: The name Longhorn was never ever meant to be used as the final public name of the next Windows successor.

[Lasker]

so with beta 1, Microsoft will use Vista or going to stay with the name Longhorn until the final version??

[Julius Caro]

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.

Both vistas are the same, with short "i".

Hasta la vista, that's spanish, and that's short :p

I won't be surprised if the bootscreen and build tag will still say Windows Codename: Longhorn on Beta 1.

Wasn't Windows Codename: Whistler changed to Windows XP on a system level until Beta 2?

That's a good question that I've been wondering myself. I suspect that Microsoft will stick with Longhorn. I was on the MSDN site and everything over there still refers to Vista as "Longhorn" ... http://msdn.microsoft.com/longhorn. But you never know :ermm:

So it sounds more like Windows Fisting instead? Damn I just got my heart set to Windows "Veesta&quo:p. :p

They will most likely stay with Longhorn, since that is the development name.

[Ivand]

I thnik MS are crazy  :yes: about this name, Longhorn is better than Vista, but what Vista is about ?

You prefer an OS named after a cow or another named after Vision or sight?

Though all the characterizations are of Longhorn the animal (which is more commonly known). If I do remember correctly, the MS guy was wearing a cowboy hat before taking it off and putting on a Windows Vista cap.
