It's (almost) official: Longhorn to be called Vista

I've kind of gotten used to calling it Longhorn, but it looks like Microsoft's branding geniuses (you know, the folks who came up with Bob) have decreed that the next version of Windows will officially be called — drum roll, please — Windows Vista. Yeah, I know. Hey, it's better than Windows 2009, right? (And, as Barb says, over on Engadget, that's Vista, "as in 'a view into the distance' which surely refers to the prolonged development timeline of the OS.")
