Windows "Longhorn" becomes Windows Vista

[Shayne]

 

Today we live in a world of more information, more ways to communicate, more things to do. There is more you can do and even more you can discover.

Every day, millions of people around the globe rely on their Windows PC to manage their increasingly digital lives. While familiar tools for managing digital information are powerful, today's world requires more.

In today's digital world, you want the PC to adapt to you, so you can cut through the clutter and focus on what's important to you.

I was really hoping for "Windows 6" or something similar, as i much perfer dealing with numbers then names.  Ive seen reports of people already calling it "Windows Vi" (as in Windows 6).  Hopefully the bastardization of the name sticks.

 I wonder what the price point will be, since they've gone way longer than initially expected re. development time.

"Vista" eh? I'm guessing the cost will be quite expansive

And hey feel free to coin a new word, "Windows Sixta"!

 Im gonna gues... $299 for the pro version and $199 for the home version.  I see no reason for Microsoft to move from their current price point.  Also is $300 really all that bad for 5 years on an OS?  Seems like a bargin compared to the $1000 that Apple people have choked down.
