Windows® Vista™
Published July 22nd, 2005 in Windows Vista“Bringing clarity to your world.”
Today Microsoft announced the official name of the next-generation Windows operating system — Windows® Vista™, formerly known under the code-name “Longhorn”.
Information about this new name was leaked last night, as ActiveWin reported, after Microsoft Global Sales Briefing held in Atlanta. Vista stands for view, prospect and this is exactly what Windows Code-name “Longhorn” is about - the innovative graphics engine, rebuilt driver model, as well as the ‘Indigo’ services. There is a new Vista-specialized microsite at Microsoft, and the former “Longhorn” Development center is gone. You can watch the “Longhorn” naming announcement video here.

when people are tired of the delay of windows longhorn, mirosoft have to find out a solution to reactivate our attraction, so … the name has been changed
hemingyu, “Longhorn” was only a code name for the next generation Windows operating system, Microsoft always should drop code names sometime during the beta program. And the delay is worth considering all the new technologies that are being developed/implemented in Windows Vista.
