VentureBeat: Windows 7: Vista gets a sequel

  • Omar Zafra · 1 year ago
    If all Microsoft is doing is add or build on top of Vista, then I am definitely switching to the new OS from Apple, Snow Leopard, which is expected to be really fast, slick, and resource-efficient. For those of you who might be interested in some cool technology, check it out: http://www.apple.com/macosx/snowleopard/

    I doubt you're the only one who feels that way. Of course, as a Mac owner I've never had to deal with Vista in a serious way ...

    Maybe they wanted to use 7 simply to demonstrate that progress is here and we will be sure to see further innovations in Windows 8, 9, etc. Or maybe they have finally realized it is not really about the name, it is mostly about the product itself.

    I'm not super-impressed by the name, but whatever. At least it provided plenty of opportunities for sarcastic headlines. What really seemed silly to me was how Nash tried to sell the name change as this continuation of Vista.

    Anthony, I don't think anyone is impressed by the name but it is very true - the irony is definitely here in Nash's behavior.

    Tentative names included Windows Blackcomb, Windows Vienna, WindOS X, Windex, Windows Steak and Bl*wj*bs Edition!!! (which proved in beta testing to be Tofu and Long Querulous Discussion About Where Our Relationship Is Going Edition) and Windows 2007^W2008^W2009^W2010.
