“Windows Vista!”
Microsoft announced the official Longhorn name this morning. ActiveWin claims they were the very first website to announce it. You can also see the Microsoft press release.
With five letters, it’s certainly the longest suffix a version of Windows has ever had, besides “Server 2003″ of course. The closest, with four letters, was “2000.” It’s certainly an interesting name. But it’s possible that the name could change, as Windows Server 2003’s name did; before its release, Server 2003 had an “official name” of “Windows .NET Server.”
I’ve also heard that beta versions of Longhorn… er, Vista… have been circulating in a invitation-only beta release. The next version of Windows is fast approaching.
Hurry up, Vista!
