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,
