Daniel F. Administrators Posted July 24, 2005 Administrators Share Posted July 24, 2005 Others who are lukewarm on the name understand the marketing rationale for it. They say a name like "Windows 2006" would sound dated in a couple years, and Longhorn isn't a name that's easily understood around the globe. And they admit that the name might just take some getting used to. "Had Vista been the codename, and Longhorn the proposed commercial name, you would have preferred Vista," a Neowin.net reader said in one of almost 500 comments left to a related post. "That's a terrible name," another Neowin responded to the Vista news. "I hope it's not true." "That's what people said over Windows 95, ME and XP," someone else responded. http://news.com.com/Web+takes+in+the+Windo..._3-5801300.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
