   The dumbest and more retrograde name I’ve ever hear. With a product pitch like that, who’d take it seriously? Heck, I remember a terrain forming program long ago called Vista Pro… you remember that?

   sigh. because they thought longhorn sounded too much like the devil? but windows vista sounds like a condominium. :

   (but then you think you all very great because you all got cat names issit… wait till the mac cheetah comes out — ‘cos that’s all it does. ha ha ha.)

   Viruses, Infections, Spy-wares, Trojans and Ad-wares.

   And there you have it - VISTA.

   Unfortunately just because they’re Microsoft they get away with that.

   Vick: My confidential ties to the mac mothership tells me that OS 11 will be “Wombat”.

   It’s an apt name but one iteration late, as is usual for M$: vista = it’s all downhill from here. I think Windows 2000 was the closest Microsoft is getting to a good operating system for its day.

   Imagine future tech support calls.

   “U using which version? 2000, Me, NT, XP or Vista?”

   Vista - 0_o something doesn’t sound quite right in the list…
