Old and busted: Longhorn, New Hotness: Vista. Pardon me while I refill my crack pipe
Microsoft has just announced the name for their new operating system. Through some shady contacts I actually managed to get a hold of the original list of posible names for the new OS and let me tell you, it is startling to see what they passed up on.
Longhorn
Iron Maiden
Beefalope
Tommyknocker Edition
Fresca
XP SP3
WOSX
Windows 200?
Windows Security Edition
Windows No Longer Going To Be Ass Raped By The Virus Writers Edition
Vasectomy
Veal
Visa
Vista
Well, there you have it. And you always wondered what went on inside Gate’s head.

You forgot Microsoft XP Tiger Edition.
Dude - don’t rip on Iron Maiden—ever
Vista is a lame name - but M$ is pretty content with mediocrity by now. I’m happy knowing I use the best OS around every day and the next OS X release will only add more separation between M$ garbage and OS X.
lmao James. My fave was in that lot was Vasectomy - works on a few levels. Very, very funny
I just read this on cNet:
Using a similarly sarcastic tone, blogger Veggiedude sees “VISTA” as an acronym for “the top five Windows problems: Viruses, Infections, Spyware, Trojans and Adware,” he wrote.
I laughed so much!
