Longhorn has a name

This is all over the place, but Microsoft announced that Longhorn will be branded “Windows Vista”. *yawn* Can we be done with this idiotic name/version march and go back to meaningful release numbers?

  • I hadn't seen that.. very nice. Hugh is a smart man. I don't think it'll be the end of Windows on the desktop, but it will certainly make people like me think again.I have nothing against Apple, but I really wish they would have ported to other hardware. OS X on a homebrew machine sounds reeeealy nice.Unfortunately, for now, I can't game on a Mac. Sure, that's a simple reason, but I like to game when I have the time. I can't play BF2 on OS X. At least not yet. I also can't build my own machines. Those two things keep me off Mac.

  • I can't keep up with him anymore. He's starting to sound like a well-read Dvorak; interesting reading, until you dig a little bit.iVideo; sure, why not. Everyone will have a download movie service in a year. Xbox Office? Not likely. Apple and Intel merging? A wet dream for Jobs. Cringely has been drinking too much of the Kool-Aid that the Mac zealots are passing out.
