HimalayaJoe Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I quite like it. I preferred Longhorn, but Vista will grow on me. However, I feel I'm going to call it WinVI or Windows6 rather than Vista.

Jeremy1 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Windows XP is short for Windows eXperiencehow short and sweet is that? 586257024[/snapback] I know what it's short for but nobody, including Microsoft, calls it "Windows Experience" for christs sake.

vcv Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Vista will grow on you. Give it time. For those saying "[H]asta la vista", it's not funny. Why? Because that's said "Vee sta", this is said "vi sta" (short i). So it doesn't make sense.

Matt T Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 And names of cat breeds don't sound like ridiculous names for an operating system to you? :unsure: 586251484[/snapback] Technically the cat names of OS X are codenames. But Apple choose names of big cats to signify power, elegance and beauty - all of the things OS X is. I know Microsoft used "Vista" because it means visualise or something like that, and it's a good idea, but not everyone knows what the word vista means. Anyway, let's not turn this into another Apple vs MS thread. Sorry to be off topic.

Ran Sagy Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I think it's ok. The name doesnt really matter, but it kinda sits well with MS' vision (as far as i understand it), And i think thats better than the name sitting ok with a bunch of fanboys.
