If you were blindsided by Microsoft's announcement last week that the company plans to change Longhorn's name to Windows Vista, you're not alone. Most of Microsoft's employees didn't find out about the change until just before the general public did. Although you're probably used to Microsoft's public marketing campaigns, it might interest you to know that the software giant engages in the same sort of activity when it communicates changes such as the Windows Vista branding to employees and partners.
