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.

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.

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.

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".

Screenshots:

Note: This Really looks like WindowsXP! And i just took the foirst best pictures i found!
