CR6 0 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 I was expecting they were going to stick with letters like Windows NT or XP. My bet was something like Windows GT hehe ... Well, they must have paid big bucks to some advertising company to come up with the name and slogan. Note the "Clear/Clarity" theme ... I take it's from the fact that Longhorn windows can be made transparent to see other windows behind them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CR6 0 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Actually, the majority of Windows users are still using Windows 2000 (mainly business users) Not as many people migrated to Win XP as Microsoft hoped. More businesses may migrate to Vista since mainstream support for Win 2000 ended as of the end of June 2005, and WinXP support ends end of 2006 ... http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifewin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CR6 0 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Hmm, looks like MS has to either rename Vista or pay major bucks to use the name: http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/2140286/...microsoft-vista Microsoft may have to alter Vista Company of the same name cries foul following Redmond's renaming of Longhorn Iain Thomson, vnunet.com 25 Jul 2005 Microsoft may be in trouble for naming its forthcoming operating system Vista after it transpired that the name has been registered by an American company for nearly six years. Vista, which operates a small business internet interchange, is actually based in Microsoft's home town of Redmond. It was started in May 2000 by John Wall, the founder of Wall Data and an erstwhile investor in SCO. "We are going to consider our options and talk to Microsoft," Wall told The Seattle Times. Vista has not yet filed suit against the software giant. Microsoft announced the new name for its operating system on Friday and said that the first beta code would be available on 3 August. "There is no more Longhorn; it is now officially Windows Vista," said Kevin Johnson, group vice president of Microsoft's worldwide sales, marketing and services.

Crimson 0 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 There no point in upgrading immediately and being forced to buy a retail package within the first week. Wait a few months and pick it up at half cost in an OEM package. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
