I don't like Vista. Should let longhorn, the codename as the offical name too.

It doesn't matter, even if they called it Windows Garbage, people would still buy it.

Never expected M$ to called their product as Vista...
Maybe Vista has a better ring and meaning to all users. Longhorn sounds a bit gothic... reminded me of the devil with longhorn aka M$ itself

Actually Vista means "The visual percept of a region", with these synonyms: aspect, panorama, prospect, scene and view. Translated from Spanish, Vista means: sight, vision, ability to see; look, glimpse; spectacle; viewfinder; range of view; point of view.

Windows Vista has been unofficially abbreviated to Windows VI, staying with the traditional 2 character motif, as in 95, 98, 2K, ME, NT, XP. VI is also the number 6 in Roman numerals, and Windows Vista will carry the version number 6.0.

So next time we should call it Windows VI instate of XP....

This is too early to say

We have to wait until it release at 2007( if release on time) to know the true meaning of VISTA.
