'Vista'? Dude, what the **** kindof retarded name is that? It's not a goddamn SUV

 

[kirovman]

Sounds like a cheap holiday destination.

Hey guys have you of the new Windows Vista (confetti thrown in air for 3 seconds), It comes with free flight tickets to Jamaica, Hawaii, and Cambodia( for you adventurous types).

Seriously, What the hell kind of name is that for an OS?

 

[Sui]

What the hell kind of name is "XP" anyway? Sounds like something from an RPG!

Windows +50 XP ( Omfg level up!) You have learned Magic Missle.

 

[RoyaleWithCheese]

windows vista, reminds me of alta vista, doesnt vista mean something like "view" in spanish?

so "windows view" ? sounds retarded. Of course you can view through a window, why else would you have one, or it must be a steamy window or frosted glass or something like that

"vista" jeesus, it rhymes with 'sista' , windows xp's biatch sister

 

[kirovman]

Windows Siesta.

 

[RoyaleWithCheese]

This is the worst name I've heard since a Dutch TV/Radio station called Veronica changed its name into 'Yorin' , nice, watching a bucket of piss.

Vista? My god.... That sounds as awful as turning BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) into RSOD (Red Screen Of Death). I think AMD Athlon 64 owners will be pissed too - as their processors have cool names (Sledgehammer, Clawhammer) then they have to use "Windows Vista".

Longhorn sounded badass, they should've used that beta name for the actual product.

QFT char.. hmph must learn that way of bypassing the 6char limit

 

[RoyaleWithCheese]

actually longhorn sounded a bit gay imo, sounds too much like long schlong or something. Not that that's a bad thing or anything, but not the thing an OS should point you to

I kind of agree.

Marketing: "Take life by the horns.....Windows Longhorn"

 

[marksmanHL2 :)]

I kind of agree.

Marketing: "Take life by the horns.....Windows Longhorn"

Which is why you aint in marketing



Although to be honest... I can see them doing just that.... sad really.

 

[mortiz]

I'm dreading Longhorn and all the new API's that are coming with it. Especially the new game related API's, I can forsee the problems developers are going to have with them.

Longhorn sounds like a porn movie. :|

I kind of agree.

I have a better one

Marketing: "Take life by the Vista.....Windows Vista

I know, this is why I ain't in marketing....

 

[The Mullinator]

At least XP sounded somewhat neat.

Vista just sounds stupid.

 

[Jimmeh]

Vista really does sound cack. Surely they could've thought up a better name, like...erm.. Windows 2006?

 

[Lucid]

How about "Windows : RG - Really Good Edition." ?

 

[The Mullinator]

Ha ha, best version of windows ever. I mean don't you kill the paper clip guy in it?

 

[TheSomeone]

They should have called it "Wink".

 

[jondy]

They should have called it "Wank".

Corrected :E
