Vista sounds like something you would catch on your longhorn :icon27:
Beta 1 as early as next week? Interesting.

It's the type of name they'd give a virus.

I can't believe this is official.
Long live Longhorn. The name made so many waves that they should have kept the codename as the official product. "Microsoft Longhorn."

I won't be running it until the included DRM has been cracked anyway, the name doesn't bother me as much.

When I read vista I remembered the time when Red, on That 70's Show, eat special brownies and sold the Vista Crusier and he got it back and the bitch said she didn't like it and Red said "This is a Vista Cruiser, you can literally cruise the vista" Awesome episode.

'Vista' sounds fine, from a marketing pov.

So they should change the name because you can make racist 'jokes' about it?
GGz rep, you're a retard. Shocking news.
