First reaction: laugh, now that I realize it's actually gonna be called like that: puke. :P

Guido, you can say all you want about marketing and all that crap :P, but I'd prefer something more technical, like Mnjul.

RE: Windows Vista
I think the name is a good solid name. When Windows XP came out, I thaught it sounded really cool, but to be honest it just sounds kind of lame now. But vista, while it is not amazingly eye catching, people will buy it because it is a good piece of software, and within a few years time, while people won't be like WOW, they won't think "LAME"

RE: Windows Vista

Update: Steven Bink along with numerous other Windows enthusiast site admins have suggested we nickname Vista "WinVi". "Vi is the first two letters of Vista, and Windows Vista is Windows NT 6.0. In Roman Numerals VI is the number six." ActiveWin is reporting that the official tagline for WinVi is "Clear, Confident, Connected: Bringing clarity to your world."source

calling vista longhorn forever would be like alling xp whistler forever. it could possibly work but it probably wouldnt be right.

At first I didn't like the name, but now since I have heard it a bit, it has a nice ring to it:)

I would prefer Windows Vision!! Since that Vista means Sight in Portuguese!! Windows Vision would sound great! I think!
