Kudos & Calamities: MS Fails in the Symbolism Department

Quote:
There's been a flurry of activity directed at Microsoft this week with the release of the new name for the newest version for Windows, scheduled to be released sometime in late 2006 or early 2007. Here's a brief look at some of the hysteria it has caused.

A huge deal is being made out of nothing. Call it Microsoft Windows Boogers or Microsoft Windows Head Lice. It won't affect the sales. People will still buy just as many.

I was listening to the TWiT(This week in tech) Podcast and they were talking about "Vista" (at least I think it was TWiT) anyways...It was called "Longhorn" until now and I really liked that name, I think "Vista" is a little too...stingy...

Oh well, I'm looking forward to it all the same,
