Longhorn sounds Scandinavian while Vista sounds Latin.

When XP's name is announced, everyone comments how weird that name is. But today, we are now used with that name. It will be the same for Vista, a couple of years or so after release.

Yeah, name doesn't matter to me either, sooner or later we will get used to it

It is useless for a OS to have a wonderful name but costs you a bomb and yet fails to perform

I'd rather to see the next release to impress me in term of quality.

Longhorn reminds me of long and horny, and that's really not what I want of Windows, so I prefer Vista.
