No more Longhorn. Now we call it Windows Vista. An italian word meaning sight. Well, for us who have seen Windows over the years this should be a sight for very sore eyes.

cahult:
There could be some reasons to keep the code name Longhorn in memory. I read on a site today that vista in latvian means chicken and thus leghorn could be a nickname for this new version of windows since it is wing clipped after all the cutting in the code.

Shiver:
The first thing that came to my mind after hearing the new name was Arnold Schwarzenegger saying "Hasta la vista, baby" and shooting a window to pieces.

The last I heard, it was due in December 2006, so we can probably expect to see it ship sometime in the summer of 2008.

I agree. Windows 95 was supposed to come out in 1993 too.

And this Windows Vista thing seems to be a big project for Microsoft too. It's a lot of work making sure that DRM is integrated in every part of Windows.
