Hurmoth Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 (edited) The next version of Windows finally has an official name: Windows Vista. The advertising tagline for Vista is "Clear, Confident, Connected: Bringing clarity to your world," according to a video of the announcement posted by Microsoft. Vista's three design goals include better security, new ways to organize information, and seamless connectivity to external devices, the company said. Microsoft said will provide more detail on Vista features Aug. 3. Microsoft has also registered the domain name windowsvista.us.

Mordkanin Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Vista? What a terrible name. Seriously though, why not Windows .NET? Aren't they trying to push their dotnet stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Veteran Posted July 22, 2005 Veteran Share Posted July 22, 2005 Honestly, it sounds like one of the names that was posted here on Neowin - it's another "Windows 360" or "Windows reloaded" or "Windows ATTITUDE!!!1"-type name that no one ever thought would actually get it past the marketing department for fear of being laughed off the planet. Windows Vista? Of course, if this is genuine, we'll all be raving about how good it is soon I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
