I liked the name Longhorn better.

Oh well.

"Bringing more clarity," yep, they are going to have trouble marketing it because they put so many features into XP.  I read an article that they might make their new OS more laptop affiliated than XP...but really, as much as I dislike Microsoft, they did a good job on XP, perhaps so good that they shot themselves in the knee.

I think it will become more popular than XP, even from what everyone has said about it. Besides, all of the newer computers coming out will have Windows Vista on it. People will have to use it.

It will be as good as XP was when it was released. Too bad they gave up on implementing WinFS into Longhorn -- I mean Vista. :/

Longhorn is not as marketable, and it's a name that only geeks know about. As much as it sucks, Vista > Longhorn.

iago

"Vista" sounds like an old folks home.  Perhaps Microsoft is using it because they're planning on retiring?  "Microsoft Vista: where we come to die"
