Longhorn is now Windows Vista

REDMOND - the new operating system of the American computer giant Microsoft is called ‘ Windows Vista ‘. Microsoft confirmed that today on a briefing of sales and marketing employees in Redmond, America.

The name had been circulating for quite some time on the Internet, but so far the new OS had only been known under the codename ‘ Longhorn ‘. Microsoft wants to bring Windows Vista on the market by the end of 2006, five years after Windows XP was launched.
I waited to post the new name here until it was officially confirmed, because at first I didn’t really like the name… but I already got used to it: it’s not as bad as it first looked like it was.

The new operating would not only make pcs more user friendly - Vista means view, perspective - but also safer and more reliable. Earlier Microsoft said that the new OS will make an end to software that’s trying to install itself on the computer without permission of the user.

By August 3rd, 2005 there should be a first test version of Windows Vista for developers and IT professionals.
