blowMeNeo Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 You know, if you shorten it up it could be Windows V (not the roman numeral, the letter), which sounds alright to me and is what I'll be calling it in my shop and to my customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sn00pie Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Vista? What a stupid name, that's pathetic, I've actually noticed that Microsoft had some of the best names for products like "Visual Studio .NET", "Windows XP Proffesional", " Microsoft Works", stuff like that, and now Windows Vista? Hopefully, this will be proven wrong tommorow. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japlabot Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 If you look up the definition of Vista, it means this: 1. A distant view or prospect, especially one seen through an opening, as between rows of buildings or trees.2. An avenue or other passage affording such a view. Maybe the Bob Stein (The Microsoft Employee) was using 'Vista' as a word or phrase to describe that it is the Future Windows version that he can see 'over the horizon', not 'Vista' as an actual name.
