Hasta la Vista "Longhorn"...

Today the blogosphere is full of comments about the official launch of Windows Vista, formerly codename "Longhorn", the next generation Windows that all are waiting.

Obviously, for every news like this there are the 2 sides of the medal, the ones who love the name and the ones who hate the name. What's your favourite side? I don't like the name, maybe it can have sense for who lives in USA (a "Vista" is something like a scenic or panoramic view) but for others the name is a nonsense.

I've always loved the old style and something like Windows 2006 could make me feel good, but also something like the XP-style could be a good idea: why not Windows NG (new generation), or Windows V6, or Windows 3D, or something similar?

However, I hope that the time will help me to assimilate the name (for the moment I've stomachache) otherwise when will be the time of Office Vista or Visual Studio Vista, I don't know how could be my reaction...

Windows Vista, the first OS that needs the oculist...
