Longhorn gets a name!

Rumors started flying around the Internet today that the official name of Longhorn, the code name for the operating system after Windows XP, will be Windows Vista.

Not sure if it is pronounced "Vis-ta" or "Vee-sta", but either way it seems like a decent enough name to me. Moving away from the year-based naming like "Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows2000" is a good idea with the delivery date a moving target! The latest I heard is that Windows Vista should be out to customers in calendar Q4 2006.
