Vista and Product Names
So, how long before folks start using "Vista" in thier product names? i.e. HyperVista for .NET, VistaTier for .NET and so on and so on ...., sigh ....
VistaDB is excluded of course because they were there first.

Vista - Distant View of an eclipsed OS
If image is everything, no one will buy something so poorly named.

Just to be clear ...
Don't include me in with the Microsoft Bashers above, I was merely referring to the fact that every application had "Win" in some form or another in their application names when Windows first came out.

Very Discouraged
I have always thought highly of Microsoft's marketing machine. Microsoft continues to drop the ball. This name proves something inside Microsoft has gone very wrong.
I am surprised by the number of people making the switch to OS-X, maybe I shouldn't be.

WTF???
Um...a Vista is a lookout point. In many cases the highest point in the area, from which you can see far out to the horizon. I like the name personally (much better than Xbox 360).
Anyway, don't all you MS bashers belong on TSS.Com or slashdot? Come on now, give us one place to enjoy the company of fellow .Net developers. You're not a non-conformist if you're doing the same thing all the other non-conformists are doing. You're just a parrot.

You are missing the point
I cannot speak for everyone on the message board, but I do not consider myself a Microsoft basher, but a supporter. While I do not claim to know anything about marketing, I can tell you the reaction I have gotten from local .NET users groups hasn't been positive.
I appreciate your support for the name; I simply disagree with your opinion. Maybe if developers hadn't felt so let-down by Longhorn, the name wouldn't be under such heavy criticism.

Whatever - I work with MS products every day, I've earned the right to complain about them.
