571883 2007-07-31 11:56:00 I like Blackcomb myself.

Vienna sounds too.. Vista-ish, and Windows 7 sounds like some crappy web-based OS that Yahoo! would release next to their upgraded email system.

Sounds just like the Wii.

When it was black, with blue lights, and called the "Nintendo Revolution" it looked like it was ready to kick some serious ass. But Wii? and it looks like a Mac? sad indeed.

571884 2007-07-31 11:59:00 Vista is another ME! :rolleyes:

Vista is called Windows ME II, and while it doesn't crash as much, it has **** drivers and pisses you off just as much with all its useless *security* features.

Not here, I run it quite happily. Prefer it over XP anyday.

A few months before it's released MS will come up with some "fancy" new name for it. Hey they might just called it Windows :)

That is what a lot of hardware designers are doing these days and generally getting favourable results. The Xbox 360 was partly modeled on the Mac G5 Tower which is actually what they used to code the Xbox 360 since both used the IBM PPC chip.
