Well looks like Microsoft's next version of the Windows client, known to many of us as Longhorn will be called Windows Vista! The official name was announced on Friday without many more details.
The new 64-bit operating system is set to be available as Beta for developers on the 3rd of August.

Nope,.. no matter how its said, it still sounds bad.
They should've kept Longhorn

I thought only two things came from Texas: steers and queers. Wasn't that what the movie said?

Thinks it is from Officer and a Gentlemen.
Well, I don't remember what was the codename of Windows XP (maybe same story?) but the name hardly matters here. I'm just not being too optimistic about it, but the time (and experience) will tell...
P.S. Few interesting facts:
a) Every time I do a fresh install of Windows XP (exactly same configuration options) - it behaves differently after install. Sometimes giving certain bugs while after another fresh install doesn't.
b) When I first got my hands on Win2k, it took 7 attempts to install it (it crashed either during install, locked up during hardware detection or failed to boot after restarting). Although it has been beaten up by Linux RedHat 7.1: 11 install failures, sometimes it crashed while booting from CD, sometimes in the middle.
For some unknown reasons I had no further problems with installing both WinXP and Linux last year on exactly the same machine (until it died due to lightning three days ago
Found the one I was thinking of. Full Metal Jacket.

"Texas? Only steers and queers come from Texas, Private Cowboy. And you don't look much like a steer to me so that kinda narrows it down."
