started this post yesterday and then got carried away on other stuff. The next version on Microsoft Windows is not going to be called Longhorn but instead will be known as Microsoft Vista. Vista?
According to the blurb,
It enables a new level of confidence in your PC and in your ability to get the most out of it.
It introduces clear ways to organize and use information the way you want to use it.
It seamlessly connects you to information, people, and devices that help you get the most out of life.
It’s very interesting that the brave new world of computing is now about getting, storing and organising “information, people, and devices”. A quick flick over to the Wikipedia where they’ve already noticed the Microsoft announcement. Interesting though is this reference to vista from Tolkein. Now I get it. It’s really a middle earth thing.
