Windows Vista draws, jokes, scorn, approval | |
|

Technology blogger Josh Phillips is atypical of his fellow online community members in his unimpassioned, rational response to the newly-announced name for the next version of Windows: Windows Vista. "I have been giving myself a few days to adjust to the Windows Vista name before passing too much judgment on the selection," he wrote. "As with most product namings, this was probably driven by the marketing side of the house, which we jokingly say, has a two-drink minimum." Thousands of others, however--including those who've left 135 comments so far in response to CNET News.com's story on the issue--couldn't help but form and offer an opinion. | ||

| When the product announcements were made for Millennium Edition and XP the names also seemed like odd. Soon the name Vista will no longer be news as nobody will care what it is called as long as existing and predictable security issues are mitigated. |

| #3: And therein lies the issue: new name, same old problems. |
