MrKuro Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I didn't like it at first, but it is starting to grow on me. Windows Vista = Win VI = (very clever roman numerals) Win 6 = I now like it. I can handle typing and saying Windows VI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koolslacker Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I think it's cool. The word means: 1. scenic view: a scenic or panoramic view 2. view seen through narrow opening: a view seen through a long narrow opening, e.g. between rows of trees or buildings 3. mental picture: a mental picture covering a wide range of objects or a long succession of events in the past or future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazztheglass Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Honestly, I like the development names in the Aero/Indigo/Avalon lineup, but whatever, it's better than Windows XRJ2Q or some other garble of letters. It's also better than Windows Cheeta....etc etc :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexcyn Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 As I said in the front page comments, I think this name is awesome. Way better than XP in my opinion; or using a year or number. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
