Microsoft sees grand, not bland, in new OS moniker -- Vista | |

The new name of Microsoft's next-generation computer operating system -- Windows Vista -- may not have the vibe of Xbox, its game console, or even that of Tiger, Apple's operating system. But where some see bland, the world's largest software giant sees grand. On Friday, the Redmond, Wash., company officially crowned the upcoming version of its Windows operating system as ``Vista,'' a brand it hopes conjures an image of a sweeping view into the digital world. The company is working to build a buzz around its long-delayed new Windows version, formerly known as Longhorn, which won't hit the store shelves until fall 2006. The company will release a beta version of Vista on Aug. 3 to various communities of software developers. | ||
