Windows Vista

[Skumpaq]

I know this is a little old news but what do you think of the name of the new Windows?

Personally I could have easily mistaken it for an aprils fools joke if it was April 1st.

[Apocalypse Dude]

It's not as catchy as the other windows names / numbers... but then again it's microsoft...... :crazy:

[Lonely Vazdru]

The name sucks. But the real reason i posted is i think i'm falling in love with your avatar ryx. :wub:

But what in hell is it ? :blink:

[Skumpaq]

I have no idea! LOL

[Stroggy]

I've seen that avatar before... in the Elderscrolls forum I think... and I still don't know what it is.
As for Windows Vista, the name may be changed since last I heard there were some copyright problems.

Windows Vista - sounds like a window cleaner :tomato:

It is the first time that I KNOW I will not rush to buy a new windows version. As long as games will continue to be made for XP I could care less for that resource hog (sp?) that Vista is.

[mm_pie]

why bother??? Personally, i support 64bit technology, but when there are far superior STABLE versions of linux i.e Gentoo 64 i see absolutely no need for windows vista

Windows Vista is made for being faster than XP, because of the GUI windows XP had it got goddamn slow. So i think i'll but windows Vista because of the speed.
Windows Vista had the codename "Long horn".

with screens that small we would hardly notice if it was like win95 :D

as to how it could run faster, I believe you answered your own question (hint: it has something to do with new computers)

P.S. a popular joke on the subject: " new WINDOWS HASTA LA VISTA: kiss your computer goodbye"

LOL that was very funny.

[Danny252]

Oh, look. ANOTHER windows. I've already got double glazed ones!
anyway, Im no fan of xp so I customised my other pc to look like win '95 with a cool blue-purple thing going on. It kicks behind.
thing is I can get away with that!

[JudgeDeadd]

And here it begins...

BEHOLD! THE OS WAR!

"Hi, there's new version of Windows!"
"WINDOWS SUX! LINUX IS DA BEST!"
"no youu iddiot luinux is stu pid"
"Look, guys, use Macintoshes! PC's are for suckers!"
"BILL GATES IS EVIL! MICRO$OFT=GATES OF HELL!"

And so on

[win98]

Id say GO TO HELL BILL GATES

Mmm... I don't really like the sound of it Vista... They should have gone for Windows 2006 or something... Longhorn even sounded better... I like animal names for an OS :)

[Petter1979]

hehe i saw this catchy headline recently in a topic:

Hasta la vista hardware...


something about some hardware wont work on Vista:

I know a guy who made an application for his master thesis that was called Vista... maybe I should tip him off so he can start a massive lawsuit against m$ ;)
