Asta la VISTA baby!!!

Microsoft has changed the name of the latest in the line of Windows family of Operating system to Windows Vista. As everybody knows it was code named as Windows Longhorn (which seemed funny to me). The good part seems to be Microsoft finally seems to be moving away from the ridiculous year based naming convention they were following since Windows 95. First it was Windows XP and now it is Windows Vista with the tag line "Bringing clarity to your world"

I have worked a bit on the Longhorn Beta build 4074 and I must say that I am impressed with it. I know the experts have criticised it very badly about not living upto the promise, but I say guys, it just a beta and I am impressed with what I have seen so far. The experience is smoother than any of the Windows OS so far, it is user AND administrator friendly and the interface is intuitive. I am not a great fan of Microsoft and Windows, given a choice I would choose Linux anytime, but I think Windows Vista might just make me think a little bit.

Not too much.
