It looks like the official name of Windows Longhorn is going to be Windows Vista. What do you guys think of the name, and of Longhorn in general? And more importantly, what's going to be released first: Duke Nukem Forever, or Longhorn?

I was reading around CNN.com when I came apon an article about Windows Vista, the article outlined the basics of the new Windows OS by what can be seen in the beta.

Alot of stuff is very Macintosh like.


A seach box to replace the "All programs" (spotlight)

Minimized windows will "slide" into taskbar

Maximize windows will "pop" onto screen

as well as drop shadows and other Mac first things..

the main thing I think will ruffle Apple's feathers's is the "slide" Apple is very protective of the minimize effect they use...

So anyway, it looks like Vista is a cheap knock off of OS X.


So anyway any thing to add or comment about Vista besides the fact that is REALLY late?
