Today Microsoft Corp. announced that the official name of its next version of the Windows operating system, formerly code-named “Longhorn,” will be “Windows Vista.” The Windows Vista Beta 1, targeted at developers and IT professionals, will be available by August 3rd 2005.
Microsoft have slapped up a website for “Windows Vista” that claims it’ll be “arriving in 2006” along with promises such as, “Windows Vista. It enables a new level of confidence in your PC and in your ability to get the most out of it. It introduces clear ways to organize and use information the way you want to use it. It seamlessly connects you to information, people, and devices that help you get the most out of life.”
In other words, it’ll still be trying to do everything a Mac has already done for years. Moo (sorry, too ingrained).
Merriam-Webster Online defines “vista” in part as, “a distant view” and “an extensive mental view (as over a stretch of time or a series of events).” Constantly slipping delays and extensive stripping of features?
Why wait for so little?
Instead of waiting for Windows Fresca, uh, Vista, find out more about Apple’s Mac OS X Tiger, the world’s most advanced operating system, here.

Vista is going to get pwned by Leopard.
The first salvo in the final war to end the computing wars has begun and Microsoft has fired off a round that will soon critically injure Apple.
As the real IT world and web commerce world has known for quite some time, Vista will be the bold OS that finally ushers computing into a new era of security both in private computing and public computing. With each release, the Windows OS shows off its robust and powerful engine and now Vista will finally add the layer of security that will spell the death knell for the obscure and irrelevant Macintosh.
Count the last days of your OS platform. The fully mature Windows OS Vista will be the Moses of computing experiences as Gates leads us to the promised land of full functionality in the 21st century.

What a bunch of lazy bums… copying Apple all the time and can’t even spend the time to come up with a name that makes sense since Windows 95!!
I can believe this:
“VIDEO: Watch the name announcement for Windows Vista”
They actually have a major event just to name the product.
I prefer actual product to hype and the looooooooong view!
MDN-MW: ‘rate’ as in since when does naming a project rate a press conferrence?
Maybe they’re going to start a new naming convention.
Words that have to do with windows and views.
My suggestion would be “Windows: Pane”
Windows Vapor
Winblows Shitsa – I can’t wait for the virus-writing noobs of the world to start hackin’.
Burn baby burn
Marketing realized that “Longhorn” vs. predator cats was a bad combo. And with as much bad press that existings on Longhorn, they don’t want people corrolating Vista with Longhorn. Smart by MS to change the name, even if it is a defensive move.
My MDN word is Personal
It should be renamed Windows Cliff, because after experiencing the frustration of using it, you’ll want to follow the other windoze sheep right off of a steep one.
So MS decided to give it a name. Sigh. The only impact this breaking news will have is on this here site, where the immature and fantasyless plays on the word Vista will go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on until way past the point where even a 10-year old can’t giggle about the failed attempts at adolescent humor anymore.
Many of us in the “real IT world” have known that the Longhorn project was only a ruse. Vista is going to be the most sophisticated and technologically advanced OS ever.
The new features embedded in the OS will transform the way we interact with our PC’s. The problems and issues that plague modern operating systems like Apple’s OS X will be gone forever. No more viruses, ad-ware or browsers with security issues even junk mail will be a thing of the past. Soon you will have an OS that integrates all aspects of your digital-life into one amazing operating system…
the soon to be released Vista is the future of computing…

it’s been going on a mere 45 minutes. That’s well within adolesent-homor-inspired-derogaotry-moniker-establishing-vetting-process limits. If we go a week without agreeing on a defacto standard I’d agree with you. But give the process time to work itself out naturally.
I like this from the dictionary: vista |ˈvistə| noun a pleasing view, esp. one seen through a long, narrow opening. – So the winblows out your a$$
that 70’s show… that 70’s show… that 70’s show…
Vista?
A more accurate name would have been ‘blister’
‘blis-ter’ (noun)
1 : an elevation of the epidermis containing watery liquid
2 : an enclosed raised spot (as in paint) resembling a blister
3 : an agent that causes blistering
4 : a disease of plants marked by large swollen patches on the leaves
5 : any of various structures that bulge out (as a gunner’s compartment on a bomber)
– blis·tery /-t(&-)rE/ adjective
I’d prefer to call it ‘a puss-filled irritation to the skin’ myself…
Next thing they will be doing is a major press conference every time Billy gates has a crap…
The name only implies that a worm writer in the far reaches of the world can see the unprotected OS in the Vista. Good luck MS zombies
OMG I think that is the online chat vernacular for Oh My God!
Watch the video – does it look like crap on a pc too?
I know Apple is the master of techno-marketing, but why were all of the people cheering for this announcement; maybe it was taken out of context and I missed something, oh well…
®
“Vista will be the bold OS that finally ushers computing…”
“Finally”? I thought Windows was the pinnacle of computing all along? And people talk about the Jobs reality distortion field.
sputnik. you are trying to hard. i miss ye of yesteryear.
Or the pig-Latin derivitive, Shista.
no need to come up with new jokes gang…Today Micro$oft proved once and for all. THEY Are the joke.
“Vista” in latvian means “hen, chicken”.
” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”smile” style=”border:0;” />
Did it ever occur to you what a poor video presentation that was? I felt like I was watching a movie trailer from 1972! M$ is LAME – Bill Gates should be embarrassed! He has as much charisma as Steven Wright (you know, the comedian).
Anyway, Vista should be called “Visa”, as in “I need to buy a Mac instead on my Visa.”
Dashboard dictionary ( why can’t you copy from it?)
vista-noun
A pleasing view, esp. one seen through a long narrow opening.
a mental view of a succession of remembered and anticipated events.
ie. anticipated–keep waiting, waiting, waiting, waiti- wait, wa, wa , wa, wa.
A week!! We should be so lucky.
People haven’t even decided on the name of the effing company yet, let alone it’s ‘newest’ (ie 5 years old) product!!!
It’ll never stop, I tells ya 😀
Hasta La Vista, Windows!
i have screenshots of the “new” OS
http://images.google.com/images?q=vista+cruiser&hl=en&btnG=Search+Images
The quality of that video is truly horrendous. Microsoft should really consider using Quicktime.
Didn’t Sputnik used to be more clever? He used to be a troll we could rely on to push some real emotional buttons and fan the flames. I think he quit a while back, leaving only poseurs to uphold his hard-won reputation.
Oh and the service pack 2 version can be ‘Vista deluxe’ hmmm the 1950s are fashionable again – or will be by the time it comes out
Why doesn’t M$ just call it what it truly is. Windows XP SP3. Calling it a Vista Cruiser or whatever doesn’t change the fact that it’s simply going to be nothing more than XP SP3 in a fancy new box with a $200+ price tag.
Vista? That’s the best hey could do? Not impressed.
That video introducing the name was so lame and hokey. Besides, the video quality (wmv) was so awful, you can’t read the text. Who the hell were those 2 dorks on stage?
this new sputnik sucks. boo.
Where is nomacforyou when you need em?
I wasn’t able to get the video to play on my Dhell Machine at work – a Windows Media Player error message appears telling me of a “Catastrophic Failure” – no joke.
Couldn’t have said it better myself!
MDN – I like your take. Nice job. The couple in the picture does look like they have been abandoned and are looking in the far, far distance for the next MS OS to arrive.
Peace.
Oh my God…i thought they were going to call it Windows Visa, because you would need to activate it giving a Visa Card in order to get security updates, antivirus stuff, antispyware…….
Well, hasta la vista Longhorn. Wait….”hasta la vista”??. “Hasta nunca”(Until never. Bad translation i know, but you get what i mean) is more appropriate
“… “Windows Vista. It enables a new level of confidence in your PC and in your ability to get the most out of it.”
I have all the confidence in that the code will be hacked within hours of its release. Hackers will indeed be able to get the most out of it.
VISTA:
A pleasing view – esp. from a long narrow opening.
The above is the definition of a VISTA from the Dictionary in Tiger’s Dashboard.
I’ll leave it up to you guys for the jokes!
I do enjoy the picture on the Vista page.. it’s like they’re searching for it… “they said it was coming.. where the heck is it?”
MW: progress
VISTA = Vastly Inferior System To Apple
put that in your pipe and smoke it!!
Can you believe how pathetic this is? They got a standing ovation for RENAMING THEIR VAPORWARE!!!
Sputnik, your first post is hilarious! Nice one.
it will be so great if Leopard comes out before Vi$ta; then Mac OSX will be about 350 times ahead. btw, vi$ta is a very annoying word to say
After much squinting I realized that one line of pixelated mess of text said
“The desire is clarity”
So much for fulfilling ones desire…
it’s as if MS marketing thinks that renaming their OS will make everyone forget that it has been overdue for quite some time and place some mindshare distance between “Longhorn” and “Vista”… but no matter what, both names imply a considerable distance between two points and the image (or idea) that the product is a loooong way off.
mebbe we should call it… “LongView”?
MDN Magic Word: first… as in
“Whaddya know… Tempus didn’t get first post. Musta gotta life.”
se7en,
That’s pretty good. I didn’t pay attention to the address and went to the link.
That’s pretty good.
gotta love how engadget puts it:
Hope you’re as pumped up about the name as these guys, because you’re going to be hearing the name “Windows Vista” A LOT over the next eight years or so.
well done engadget, well done…
MW ‘far’…the end of ’06 is still far off.
So, over the horizon we can already see the Vista-Viruses, Vista-Worms and Vista-Spies preparing to do their work….
Game-over already chaps.
Oh, and Gatesy, remember to close the Windows and turn the lights out. Then stick to philanthropy and think what could have been.
“BRINGING CLARITY TO YOUR WORLD”
What an hilarious joke from the MS PR department that is. If there is anything anywhere that stands less for clarity and more for mud than Windows then I have yet to hear about it..
What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet. And Longhorn by any other word as sour.
Better than Longhorn but still very Boring.
The governor to M$’s LongYawn: Hasta la Vista baby!!!
JJ,
shouldn’t that read:
VISTA = Virus Infected System To Abandon
Leopard will be out by the end of summer I predict. Way before Vista which I think won’t really make it until early 2007 unless they release a beta first.
Sitting in front of his Hasta la Vista Windows Pee Cee: click, click, cut and paste the following:
“Many of us in the “real IT world” have known that the Longhorn project was only a ruse. Vista is going to be the most sophisticated and technologically advanced OS ever.

Such sad life!!!!!
It’s taken Microsoft over 4 years to get XP to the point that you don’t want to shoot your computer each and every day and now they want to start over again with Vista. No one I know will want to go through all of this bullshit again. Vista will sell on new computers only. There will be no line ups waiting to buy it when it comes out. 10% adoption in the first year is very optimistic.
Wow all that buffering for that crappy quality video…
MW = “bed” as in Microsoft employees should stay in one.
I wouldn’t laugh. There is an element of truth is Sputnik’s ramblings. One of the ‘features’ of Longhorn is to tie in everything via C# to the hardware DRM and achieve lock-in to a degree currently unknown. Thus all web sites will ultimately only be viewable on a Windows browser.
About 15 years ago I saw MS described as an, ‘utterly ruthless company whose ambitions had no limits’. Gates aim is to destroy everything and everybody else and neither age nor any PR fluff about his charitable endeavours has changed anything.
The Wintel lemmings will swallow anything Gates tells them and the corporate IT people who are afraid of learning anything new will hail it as the best OS ever, not noticing that if ever MS did produce anything half decent they would be out of a job.
Tacitus
There are more PC users in that arena watching them rename Windows than there are Mac users total.
My advice. Keep you mouths shut, since Apple fans make up a tenth of a percent of the entire worlds population. You are all (together) nothing but (one big) turd in our crappers.
Knowone on this planet gives a rats ass about any of your rants. The truth is when Vista is released, It’ll sell more than twice the copies in one month than that of crApple’s complete sales of OSuX has in 5 yrs.
Its pathetic, OSuX is a vestige OS that will soon become nothing more than a poo stain in the underpants of Bill Gates, and every other Windows user out there.
OSuX will be defiled and debauched by Windows next year.
So (mw) while you are all getting your Apple Branded Enema’s, We’ll be using a technologically superior product that makes crApples OSuX look as useful as a helicopter in space.
I must give applause to Steve though, He is the worlds best second act, and truly innovative in the “beguile, betray, bullshit, bunco, con, counterfeit, defraud, delude, double-cross, fake, fake out, feign, fool, humbug, illude, jive, juggle, lie, mislead, pretend, psyche out, put on, sham, shuck, simulate, take in, trick” Area’s.
Moo Fockers, MOO
no no no!
its supposed to be Windows Visa .
This will be the first version of windows that allows the profits from your purchase to be directly deposited into Bill’s Visa Debit account.. duh!
vis·ta ( P ) Pronunciation Key (vst)
n.
A distant view or prospect, especially one seen through an opening, as between rows of buildings or trees.
An avenue or other passage affording such a view.
An awareness of a range of time, events, or subjects; a broad mental view: “the deep and sweeping vistas these pioneering critics opened up” (Arthur C. Danto).
…”as useful as a helicopter in space.” Nice analogy IT guy. I love it when somebodies entire career feels threatened like this.
Jeff, For your little mind, maybe a “screen door on a submarine” is a better analogy.
My career is secure. Windows and Linux have been, presently are, and will continue to be the De’Facto.
(mw) help, as in you all need “help” getting the tube in your asses for your enema’s, Look no further than SJ.
See, I told you all those Longhorn BBQs would pay off!
” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”cool smile” style=”border:0;” />
Hey, there’s a new troll. I would say welcome, but you’re such a pottymouth. Keep it clean, please. Besides, our other target were getting a bit tattered.
Lame name for a lamer product.
Get A Life. Get A Mac.
MW: “couldnt” as in, MS couldn’t program their way out of a paper bag.
hi, i’m new here i watched the video and i can’t believe that people applaud for this shit.
” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”big surprise” style=”border:0;” />
Oh i see the main reason to the name change operation:
While a leopard can eat a longhorn alive, it cannot eat a vista…LOL
Wonder what will be Steve’s jokes about the both systems in the next event….
rorschach: Technically speaking, Apple couldnt “program” themselves out of a paper bag either. Usually you just “climb” out of one. So really, that a stupid statement. Now, a comment like “Apple couldnt program there way out of the market share hole they’re in” is a better analogy.
It would take crApple 30 more years at their current (mw) sales rate to get to 2% market share.
Don’t get all angry buddy. Why are you even on this site anyway? I’m sure you’re just in denial…that’s why you must be acting like this. Don’t worry, you’ll come around.
“It would take crApple 30 more years at their current (mw) sales rate to get to 2% market share.”
(yawn…) i think everyones waiting for better thought out, credible flame bait before they bite.
would also like to add….
less juvenile flame bait…
Sputnik’s overblown rhetoric does suggest a modicum of intelligence, albeit misdirected. Perhaps he is merely playing Devil’s Advocate to incite vitriolic reactions? It is unfathomable that he could possibly present this puerile excrement as superior to OSX.
Of course DitchWitch’s career is secure. Mechanics only make money off vehicles that are broken…
PS, what does “Knowone” mean? The one who knows?
In other news, Bill Gates has applied to have a few extra months added to 2006….
i think i’m starting to see Sputnik’s point… and perhaps come around to his way of thinking….
“That’s right Brother Sputnik! Spread the Truth! Preach! Preach!”
Yeah, Im in denial..LOL…Good One..
I really cant imagine where MS got such a name (it sounds so familiar), hhhhmmmm…
http://www.vistawindows.com.au/
just shows, copying others isnt just a programmer’s job, but MS company policy!
Wow, Vista. Cool name – NOT!
Micro$oft suck, and DitchWitch, you deserve to have Windows because your mouth is dirty.
Peace, brothers. Long Live Apple®.
mw: floor – OS X will wipe the floor with Vista, especially now we’re moving to Intel. No more hiding, the truth will out!
“Hope you’re as pumped up about the name as these guys, because you’re going to be hearing the name “Windows Vista” A LOT over the next eight years or so.”
Sputnik only has a modicum of intelligence (or maybe he was being funny and no one caught it)…
SPUTNIK: “The fully mature Windows OS Vista will be the Moses of computing experiences as Gates leads us to the promised land of full functionality in the 21st century.”
Moses DID NOT led the Israelites into the Promised Land; he led them around the desert for 40 years! (And shouldn’t Gates be compared to Moses and not the OS?)
mw: Finally, we have a name (for a product that won’t arrive for another 17 months)! I’m glad that bit of suspense is over.
While in the process of defecation, Sputnik was consumed by a herd of ravenous swine.
Whoa!!! They changed the name Apple is in trouble now.
ROFLMAO!!!
Windows and Linux is the defacto standard for the idiots..
Ford sells alot of Focus’s too…..
STILL sitting in front of his Hasta la Vista Windows SP 3 Pee Cee: click, click, cut and paste the following:

The Redmondites have clearly been spending way too much time looking at Mt. Rainier and daydreaming.
Possibilities mean nothing unless you act. Why don’t they get back to work and fix what’s wrong with so much of their software?
Vista, a “distant view” and “an extensive mental view”. How appropriate.
How appropriate, Swindle LongYwan renamed “ Vista”! LongYawn will remain just that: a distance view!! Happy waiting to the Windows hoes like Sputnik, NoMacForYou, Sammy, Lisa, and last but not least, DickWitch!

Hasta La Vista Baby
Who cares what they name it.
When we will soon be able to run Windows, Linux, and OS X on a Macintel machine, consumers will be able to choose for themselves.
And it won’t be that bloated, registry-filled crap called Windows.
Ray – that’s perfect!
Steve can get Arnie and James Cameron to okay use of those Terminator clips and use those in a commercial.
‘Excellent’ quality of rant from DitchWitch.. setting the same standards as the software he champions.. Just sh*te, nothing more, nothing less. And it shows.
Oh yea – look at the losers doing the Balmer monkeyboy dance

Viruses Infections Spyware Trojans Adware
From “macFanDave”‘s comment in MacWorld forum…
The top five Windows problems:
1) Viruses.
2) Infections.
3) Spyware.
4) Trojans.
5) Adware.
What a perfect acronym for the latest from Redmond!
There are more confirmed sightings of Big Foot than Longhorn.
For the trolls’ sake, I hope the Mac sticks around, or Microsoft will lose its last ounce of incentive to innovate, er, copy
Following Sputnik’s logic, it will take Vista to get to where Tiger is now – free of viruses, spyware etc.
And another thing: Mac OS X will never go away, cos even if Apple stops making money from Macs it will just license out its superior OS to other PC makers (who are jack of Windows and have been lobbying Apple to do just that)
Magic word: growth
Windows “Whatever” is a great platform for most people out there
who work at a job that they can’t stand and hardly ever put forth a decent
effort for since it isn’t expected of them. Microsoft employees are
of course the programmers for the OS these types of people would
write for themselves. Even when it appears that the end is near…they
stick around until they don’t get paid. Then they just find another
job that they might have better luck with. It happens.

Vista was released in 2006. Leopard was released late.
