Web Stuff and Whatnot

I suppose its day is coming closer as Microsoft has now chosen a ‘real’ name for the previously code-named Longhorn operating system. I also suppose that Vista is a more memorable name than ‘XP’.

We can take a look at Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary for the definition of vista to learn more-
1. a distant view through or along an avenue or opening
2. an extensive mental view (as over a stretch of time or a series of events)

I guess Microsoft would like us to think that this will be the dawn of a new age for the Windows Operating System. Or perhaps the references to a ‘distant view’ and a ‘stretch of time’ are hints that many more delays are sure to come before we see Vista on store shelves.
