Opinion: In renaming Longhorn, Microsoft has taken an OS best known for security features and put the spotlight on something completely different. Windows Vista, huh? About the time when "Longhorn" was starting to sound like a workable permanent name, Microsoft releases a dopey video—I am still not certain of its significance—and a name that, well, does it really matter what the name is? "Vista" is not a word I commonly use. As a kid, the neighbors had a Vista Cruiser station wagon. Here in California, what other states call "scenic overlooks" are called "vista points" by Caltrans. There is also a community of about 71,000 in San Diego County that is named Vista. | ||
