I think I would prefer *ANYTHING* to Vista
Why not "Blackcomb", or "Windows NT6", or "Windows 2006", or anything?
Microsoft should have approached an elementary school in Redmond and run a contest with the kids to name the next operating system --- I'm *sure* that they would have come up with something better than "Vista."
When I think of "Vista", I think of a crummy domestic product that is unreliable and breaks down along the information superhighway...blah, blah, blah..."I'm sick of paying for dinner and being served cowshit, while they give the bums eating out of the garbage my meal."
