| Quote: | NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Microsoft announced Friday that it will call its next-generation operating system "Windows Vista."
The much-anticipated operating system had formerly been code-named "Longhorn."
Microsoft also unveiled the Windows Vista Web site and said the first beta testing of the system, which will be targeted at developers and IT professionals, will be available by Aug. 3.
Microsoft (Research) has promised that the new system, which is scheduled to be released in late 2006, will have several improvements, including better security features, more comprehensive search capabilities and a friendlier user interface.
Licenses for operating systems and related software still account for the majority of the Redmond, Wash.-based software giant's sales and operating profits. |
MS needs to work on their naming scheme... Longhorn is a better name than Vista for sure.

That's the kind of name $10 million in market research will buy you.

Why would you expect otherwise? If they change it dramatically, people won't know how to use it.
