SISO Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Bink over at bink.nu and some other admins have come up with what we should call Vista... WinVi. Their explanation as to why.. Vi is the first two letters of Vista Windows Vista is Windows NT 6.0. In Roman Numerals VI is the number six.

cyberfox2004 Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 How about WinVi? Here's the reasoning: 1-Vi is the first two letters of Vista 2-Windows Vista is Windows NT 6.0.

MrKuro Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I didn't like it at first, but it is starting to grow on me. Windows Vista = Win VI = (very clever roman numerals) Win 6 = I now like it.

Lasker Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 why vista? I don't get it, windows 2006 sounds more into the Windows world, windows 95, 98, 2000 and 2006.

Koolslacker Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I think it's cool. The word means: 1. scenic view: a scenic or panoramic view 2. view seen through narrow opening: a view seen through a long narrow opening, e.g. between rows of trees or buildings 3. mental picture: a mental picture covering a wide range of objects or a long succession of events in the past or future Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/347436-microsoft-windows-vista/page/12/#findComment-586253710 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazztheglass Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Honestly, I like the development names in the Aero/Indigo/Avalon lineup, but whatever, it's better than Windows XRJ2Q or some other garble of letters. It's also better than Windows Cheeta....etc etc :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/347436-microsoft-windows-vista/page/12/#findComment-586253724 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexcyn Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 As I said in the front page comments, I think this name is awesome.
