| 374536 | 2005-07-25 13:11:00 | Why does Apple have a logo that looks like an apple and Windows have a logo that kinda looks like some colored windows, and Linux has a logo that is a Penguin? Apple has Tiger, OSx Windows has XP, Vista Linux has Red Hat, Peanut, and way to many others to name. I would guess they picked the name because it is hard to make fun of in a rhyme. |

| 374537 | 2005-07-26 09:33:00 | And there allready about to be sued for the name... "By naming the next version of Windows "Vista," Microsoft may have stepped on the toes of another software company just down the road in Redmond. That would be Vista, a business software and services company founded in 1999 by John Wall. He was not amused when Microsoft announced its choice yesterday, setting the stage for a massive rollout when its flagship operating system goes on sale in fall 2006." more... (www.rednova.com) |

| 374541 | 2005-07-28 07:56:00 | Of course :) Beta isnt that far off, and I'd be keen to see if they've come up with something useable. Ya never know, if its any good I might buy a copy and dual-boot on my x64 system (Provided they make one thats 64-bit native) |
