kinetix63 Veteran Posted July 23, 2005 Veteran Share Posted July 23, 2005 Well I for one think the name is relatively good. Having seen the logo, and the marketing - I think it could work out quite well! And InsaneKiwi - the GUI is **BETA** Microsoft has already said that we won't see anything near the final GUI until Beta 2, so who cares what it looks like now!

thecat2000 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Think they should well have just called it 'Windows XP Second Edition' :D what with all the new features they have taken out of Longhorn and all.

PureLogic Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 wow some people have a really hard time comprehending that Longhorn was the codename of Windows Vista. The second the name Longhorn was announced it was set that the name will be dropped eventually for the final name. Same goes for Windows XP's codename Whistler and every other Windows codename for that matter. To make a long story short: The name Longhorn was never ever meant to be used as the final public name of the next Windows successor.

Lasker Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 so with beta 1, Microsoft will use Vista or going to stay with the name Longhorn until the final version??

Julius Caro 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. 586257523[/snapback] Both vistas are the same, with short "i".

Wasn't Windows Codename: Whistler changed to Windows XP on a system level until Beta 2?

I suspect that Microsoft will stick with Longhorn. I was on the MSDN site and everything over there still refers to Vista as "Longhorn" ... http://msdn.microsoft.com/longhorn.

RootWind Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Actually Longhorn is the name of a sportsbar at Whistler Blackcomb ski resort ;) 586258219[/snapback] Though all the characterizations are of Longhorn the animal (which is more commonly known). If I do remember correctly, the MS guy was wearing a cowboy hat before taking it off and putting on a Windows Vista cap.
