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!

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.

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

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

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:

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

Actually Longhorn is the name of a sportsbar at Whistler Blackcomb ski resort ;)

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.

      Wow, throwback.  VERY VERY briefly - but realised that it wasn't the language I needed for the tasks I was taking on.
    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack

      Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      If they don't sell enough of the 1st gen then there won't be a 2nd gen

      Epic fail, should've added an eSata port on the back, also if the memory/NVME are soldered then they're hardly gonna sell any, first thing most people do with their Steamdeck is, or used to be, replacing the NVME with a 2TB one. At that price they should, possibly for the first time, offer an installments option, say 24 months, they may sell a lot if they do. I'm sure they would have no shortage of credit companies willing to partner.
