Windows Vista
For all you Windows users out there, a new day is just around the corner. And by around the corner I mean about a year or two away. Since Windows XP was released (10/25/2001) Microsoft has been working on their next generation OS to follow it up. It was supposed to be released in 2004, but since Microsoft is known for delays it had to be pushed back... 2 years back. Now the next version of Windows is due out in late 2006 to early 2007.
Until now, the OS was going by its code name (Longhorn). But a few days ago Microsoft announced the official name for the next version of Windows. It's to be called Windows Vista.
There are a lot of theories on what the name means and why they chose it, but I like this theory from Tony Martin
VISTA is believed to be an acronym...
