July 22, 2005: 6:24 PM EDT NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Microsoft announced Friday that it will call its next-generation operating system "Windows Vista." The much-anticipated operating system had formerly been code-named "Longhorn." Microsoft also unveiled the Windows Vista Web site and said the first beta test version of the system, which will be targeted at developers and IT professionals, will be available by Aug. 3. The system is scheduled to be released late next year. Previous Windows releases have been named by year number or by a moniker -- such as Windows XP -- to describe the release itself.
