ScottKin Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I don't think I have to tell you people that "I told you so"... ...but I did! :shifty: To the nay-sayers and those that don't like the name...big deal! If you don't like the name, fire an email off to someone at Waggner Edstrom - I'm sure that they'll take your suggestion under consideration.... NOT! :hump: What a bunch of useless whiners! GET OVER YOURSELVES! I've never seen such a bunch of self-absorbed, self-important puss-buckets as the load of dim-whits who think that their opinion matters about the naming of a SOFTWARE PRODUCT! The only collection of people who are WORSE than the whiners are the haters & bashers - who gives a flying salute what you think? Go back to your OS with the disaffected and obviously drugged-out penguin as your "mascot", or even the one that has to use the powerful imagery of a ferrocious feline to add and imbue some misplaced sense of power & strength to the OS - your opinions aren't worth the spittle that dribbles out of the corner of your mouth when you begin to gyrate at the mention of Linus Torvalds or Steve Jobs!!!! :woot: :woot: :woot: Do the world a favor - help clean-up the gene pool by jumping from the highest cliff or precipice - and no cheating by using a parachute or bungie-cord. :woot: :rofl: :woot: I mean - COME ON! It's just SOFTWARE! It's not like they're naming your child!!

semaja2.net Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 well heres my opinon the only best os to come from microsoft are the ones with the years in them eg windows 95 windows 98 windows 2000 windows 2003 and look at all the failers windows me :p i say call it windows 2006 so much easier and understandable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why did you say "look at ALL the failures" when you only listed one? Windows XP is the best OS out there in the Windows world for the average user. There is no comparison. It is leaps and bounds ahead of Windows 95/98 and 2000. Integrated drivers, easy to use interface, 100% PC program compatibility, what more could you want?

Vista Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Windows VA or something like that would have been easier to use, but I think the name Vista is the nicest one yet. btw: This is my first post on these forums and check out my name. :D I normally only post on Guru3D, but today I decided to register here.

It was a very different name, that no one was expecting, and people are just going to have to get use to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
