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 didn't mean to say that Vista would be like os x. Nothing coming from Microsoft could be anything like Mac. The two Operating systems are too differnt to compare them in that respect.
I ment to say that It seems like even if Microsoft came up with the ideas Apple and Mac have a better nack for implementing them and imporoving apon them, and Windows releases ussually follow in Macintosh's footsteps.

Example - Osx added colorful menus and things like that before Microsoft, and soon to follow was Xp's attempt at a sleek look.

--I think "rip off" is a bit far, but alot of the features do seem a bit familiar...and refering to the "windows sliding into the task bar" I only wondered if Apple would get into a huff about it, since they even took a stab at google for mimicing the Dock effect on their website.

--"i know all of those but vs. Linux? WTH Is MS bitching about now?" <- I think it was just a general statement. Since Microsoft is always trying to stomp out any good challange to Windows.

Yea. ALSO, I don't think alot of people are going to swith over to Vista, I think users who are just getting used to XP would not want a big change in the gui like vista claimed to be. (although it looks like they added a stupid sidebar and enhanced the graphics) lol.

Everyone just switch to Mac or Linux. Microsoft is just going to collapse on itself eventually.
