Windows Vista
The next version of Microsoft Windows finally has an official name: Windows Vista. The name debuted yesterday at a Microsoft sales conference in Atlanta. The name was officially announced today on the Microsoft website. Windows Vista's code-name was Longhorn.
The advertising tagline for Windows Vista is: "Clear, Confident, Connected: Bringing clarity to your world". According to Microsoft, the XP in Windows XP stands for "experience". Windows XP's code-name was Whistler. Don't know yet the reason behind the new name.
The beta version will be released on August 3, 2005.

I wonder what all they have in store for us. Did you have a chance to test their alpha version?
Great blog, thank-you.
I can't wait to get vista, I see there are some trail versions or something floating around but I will wait until it is officially released.
For now I have found a few vista wallpapers at http://www.vistawallpaperarchive.com and have made my desktop look real nice.
I found a set of icons also, which should be good to use.
Keep up the great blog Bobby!
