ScottKin Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Some salient points: 1) No one will know what the actual released name will be until tomorrow at 6am PDT :p 2) Paul (Thurrott) is *very* well connected with people at Microsoft. If it's on his site, you can trust that it has a high-level of credibility :yes: 3) Microsoft has the finest PR & Advertizing agency in the world - ever heard of Waggner Edstrom (aka "Wagg-Ed")??? :yes: --ScottKin Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/347436-microsoft-windows-vista/page/7/#findComment-586251229 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexus- Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 the guy who suggested the VI in vista and roman numeral VI and 2006 may be onto something. untill i read that post i had decided this was not the final name because the last 2 client versions used 2 letters to form the name ME and XP the server version will still be windows server 2007 no vista stuff ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/347436-microsoft-windows-vista/page/7/#findComment-586251238 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silencer Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Actually it's a great name (Y). This might interest the "Longhorn Lovers" - I've written an article about "Windows Vista" and what Vista means on my blog. Check out my blog post. - "What's in a name - Windows Vista" When one hears ?Vista?, we look at each other and wonder why Microsoft chooses a name which we, users, can?t understand. We might remember the famous phrase said during movies - ?Astalavista, baby? However, I?ve done a small amount of research with the word - ?Vista? and I have come with the following: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/347436-microsoft-windows-vista/page/7/#findComment-586251440 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTD Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 In the grand scheme of Microsoft market share, the name means very little. Vista is fine. Whatever Windows is called, the product sells itself as easily as buying a toaster when you want toast.

NiceCarpet Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I don't like the name as of now, "Vista" to me it shoulds like a flavor of chips. I really liked "Longhorn". :( They should stick to years.

Vykranth Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 The first thing that came to my mind was Arnold's "Hasta la Vista". That will cause an endless stream of jokes from the anti-microsoft fan-boys/girls.
