Undecided. I don't think its great, I don't like it enough to say its good.

I'm sure it will grow on me.

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

But you don't call it eXPerience on a normal basis, you call it XP :rolleyes:

I doubt they'll change their minds, so take it the best possible.

What the hell, we don't even know what the name will be. It's not even been announced yet. Vista is just a (hopefully false) rumor.

It's alright, when XP came out I thought it was horrible, but you eventually get used to it. It could've been called Win 6, or Win 2006 but it's not, and I doubt they'll change their minds, so take it the best possible.

Can you explain why they've purchased the domains for it then?

Also, they've planned a press release for tomorrow at 6 a.m.: http://www.microsoft-watch.com/article2/0,...,1839724,00.asp

Yeah, I was going to say the exact same thing. It's not a bad name and is in keeping with Microsoft's idea of reaching for a brighter future, though I feel it is slightly disappointing.

Personally, I think its not bad. I was expected something overly glossy and bloated (like many M$ products are) for the name, but Vista fits nicely with Windows.

what was the thinking behinde "windows xp"? xp being short for "experience" i think it was a name to encompass the experience of using a computer now a days. everything from sending photos to family and friends, typing up a report or spreadsheet, to editing a family vacation or playing a game. What has happened between XP and Longhorn? The internet has become a HUGE part of all our computer experiences ona daily basis and i think Longhorn should definently reflect this. It should be a name that makes you think of global connectivity, but at the same time a small knit community like that of a family in a house or friends who live down the street. I know i sound WEIRD, but its just my thinking and mindset these days as far as my computer is concerned ;)
