Cool news jgoo!

I'm not partial to either name. Vista makes more sense though.

Saying Vista sounds a lot worse than reading it, btw.

I wonder why Microsoft didn't just stick with names for their OS such as Windows 95, 98, 2000, 2003. I can see ME for millenium edition, but where did they get XP from? (Does it stand for anything?). Now they've got Vista. I think Longhorn was a much better name than Vista.

Hahahahaha! Maybe they'll sue Microsoft for using a name that's too similar to their company's name for their product. It'd serve them. Remember the whole Lindows thing, for example? They had to change their name to Linspire. :rolleyes:
