Longhorn to be Windows Vista?
News.com is reporting Longhorn to be renamed Windows Vista.
The new name was apparently released at the Microsoft Global Sales Briefing (MGB), though the only real proof lies in MS's registration of domain names, but there is suppose to be an announcement made today (Friday).

Google defines Vista as An enclosed view, usually long and narrow - not saying anything else on that one ;o)
Comments
In American English, 'vista' usually refers to a nice, open view - it tends to be a favorite term of schlocky real estate agents. I wonder if Redmond's marketing term assumed this general definition w/o looking up the real one?
