I8PP Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 XP -> Vista client 2003 Server -> Vista Server Vista Server -> Blackcomb (unsure) There is no more "Longhorn", Longhorn is Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamend Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Not quite. Vista is the new name for Longhorn. Longhorn (Vista) was going to be the successor to XP and it should have come out about 2 years ago, and Blackcomb was supposed to be the successor to Longhorn and it should have come out this year or the next. Blackcomb was supposed to be the next big thing, but instead Microsoft delayed Longhorn until next year and made it what Blackcomb would have probably been. Nothing is known about Blackcomb right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravensworth Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Longhorn was just a code name, and they always change those. Windows XP was called Whistler when it was being developed. Windows 98 was Memphis, Windows 95 was Chicago. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I8PP Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 It's not odd, they changed the name of the code to one that's suitable for the retail world. Just like Whistler became XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smash505 Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Nothing is known about Blackcomb right now. 586566366[/snapback] Yeah...the "Blackcomb" team was disbanded so that everyone could focus on Vista. I heard that after that there will be something codenamed "Everest" or "Excalibur" :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freedom77 Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Yea Longhorn was the codename for Vista, they usually have a codename and come up with the real name later. I believe Vista means Visual. and this is vista,just so you understand :p http://www.linux-noob.com/forums/uploads/p...-1127461151.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoL Veteran Posted September 23, 2005 Veteran Share Posted September 23, 2005 I believe Vista means Visual. 586567953[/snapback] 'Vista' in Spanish (and other language) word for 'View' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nautiqueskier Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Its supposed to refer to the clarity Windows will bring to working with files and performing tasks. Personally I'm not to keen on the name and IMHO the latest vista builds demonstrate everything but clarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Dee Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I don't think its necessary for us, enthusiast to be really thinking about Blackcomb right now. Its just too far out to determine whats gonna be in it or if it will be both Client or Server. At Microsoft, its just known as the next Server release since thats what most of the official talks about it revolve around. I personally wouldn't mind seeing it be a portable operating system for other processor architectures, Intel EM64T, AMD64, Power and Sparc.
