Title: Longhorn or Vista?
Post by: FabianN on August 14, 2005, 10:22:32 PM
 With the offical name of the new Windows out, there are some people that are sticking with it's code name, Longhorn, and others that are moving on and accepting it's new name.
Which one will you use?

 oh...I didn't see this when I posted my shout...

I actually prefer Longhorn. probably based off of the fact that I've been so used to hearing "Longhorn this..." and "Longhorn that..." It's a hard habit to break, from changing Longhorn to Vista.

 Arrrgh... this is a tough one...

It's a pity that all drawing of such Longhorn-tan are now kinda obsolete. I would really like to see the official model of Vista-tan. I guess that Futaba will make it.

It would be great if we were the ones!! ^_^  But we BADLY need artists! :(

Other thing... making the name "Vista" means that Win OSes no longer have a 2-letter name. You know... 3.11 95 98 SE ME NT 2K XP ... So now people are popularizing (is that spelled right...  0_< ) the "Windows VI", 'cause its the sixth (a Sith Windows!!!  :heh: ) real Win version. "VI" its ok... i think...

Yeah, yeah, i know that many of you knew all this stuff, but i posted it just for those who didn't knew.

Anyway, it was inevitable. All Win versions had a code name on betas, for example, 95 was "Chicago", and XP "Whistler".

I still don't vote... let me think this one....  :unsure:

 Vista....sounds weird after all this time hearing "Longhorn"....but the times change, so we'll get used to "Vista"

And the official model of Vista-tan....I dont think we'll see it soon. Until Microsoft release the OS and ppl can see its characteristics, we wont see a final model.

 ...after massive "meditating" i could finally found to which one vote... "Vista!!" Now let's see how much voted for vi--- WHAT?? O_O  I'm the only one? :blink:  Don't get me wrong, i like Longhorn, but... oh well, kinda accepted the "truth"...

...perhaps i should... :&

 I'm not really thrilled with either of the names, but I'll go with Vista for the time being.  (Though you have to admit - Microsoft building an OS in the image of a bull is certainly appropriate.)

 Vista.  Why?  Because it's shorter to type in full.

That and I never got accustomed to either, so why not just go with the new?

true, longhorn too long.
Im going to miss the age when Windows OS had really simple names ....someone rember 95, 98, NT, ME, XP?...sniff, sniff, old times....lol

But by now, im getting used to the "Vista" name  :lol:

 I insist: Remember, people are trying to make common the "Windows VI" short name. Let's see what happens of this...

BTW: Yeeesss!! I have "upgraded" again! No longer a MS-DOS!!  :yes: Thorugh, i have been always a DOS lover... ^.^

 Yea, I do like the sound/look of VI, but I really like the horns... They are sooo cute ^_^
Title: Longhorn or Vista?
Post by: CaptBrenden on September 19, 2005, 02:39:16 PM
 eee o.o maybe im weird, but I disliked the horns, thats why she was my least favorite OS girl.  


Maybe im just retarded, but I thought that Microsoft, being the money grubbing opertunists they are, anounced that they were going to officaly release a design for vista tan along with the OS. (dosent suprise me if its true, heck I thought they would have got their grubby little hands on our lovely girls already and exploited and perverted them)

 I would like the vista name if they incorperated the horns ^_^

 why does everyone like the horns so much?!

 It's because Gnu/Linux-tan has horns of course ^_^

 hey I like a horny girl as much as the next but sheesh o.O I dont think they look that good.  Then again I grew up with a bunch of long horn cows, to im not too keen on em.  *shutters*
Title: Longhorn or Vista?
Post by: Pitkin on October 11, 2005, 10:07:20 AM
 Horny girls... *looks out of the window and coughs conservatively*

As for me, neither of the Longhorn-san/Vista-san (I simply prefer referring to people/characters with -san) has yet broken into my heart. However, Longhorn-san feels more familiar as that was her name when I first got to know with her. ^^;

Post by: fedora-tan on October 12, 2005, 03:41:31 PM
 It seems anyway that Longhorn is not a dead name since it'll be used for servers editions... not sure but i think having seen something saying that somewhere (clear and accurate info then :D )

I personally prefer Vista over Longhorn... it sounds a little more, well, better in my opinion...

So, Microsoft is trying to do their own art of Vista-tan? Well, I guess I saw it coming (actually I didn't, but it doesn't surprise me is all). OS-tan have become pretty popular now, and I would assume that Microsoft doesn't want Vista-tan to reflect any of Windows Vista's shortcomings or problems. I don't think they would have let XP-tan have such a ravenous appitite if they had the choice (the fact that XP eats up so much memory isn't the feature they would want to advertise, I think).

Alright, but that's just my opinion. Hope you all didn't mind my rambling...

I don't know for sure if Microsoft is actually doing anything, I originally heard it from CaptBrenden... but it really wouldn'r surprise me.

I don't personally believe in Microsoft having any interest in the field of anime / manga or in the online phenomena coming from either of those fields. Anime girls / guys are not necessary considered the best way to express their image to companies, and diversifying their OS symbology from the nearly perfect Windows logo to including also 'cartoons' sounds a bit strange for a huge multibillion company like them.

I'd say CaptBrenden-san was joking. Were you, Captain? Correct me if I'm wrong. ;)

no i dont remmember where I heard it anymore, but personaly it dosent suprize me that they would jump on anything that promotes them.  anything to make money I guess
Title: Longhorn or Vista?
Post by: destroyrhawk on June 07, 2006, 09:55:49 PM
meh, I don't think microsoft would really take notice on it.  It would be awesome if they came up with themes of the os-tans when you install a new computer and what not.  

About the Vista/Longhorn,  I would just go with Vista.  It would cause confusion and what not on forums I think if somebody keeps naming the same thing with two different names.

Post by: Darknight_88 on June 09, 2006, 04:15:03 PM
I think we readed that statement in the older version of OS-tan Collections (when we had Quotes and Shoutbox). As I remember, Agelu posted it, but I'm not sure its really true...lol, I'd want to know Bill Gates opinion about XP-tan eating so much resources.

By now, I got used to Vista, it doesnt sounds so bad after a few months

Vista=it fits the character well. It sounded like a mystical princess which i think she looks like one.

I like the name Vista. It sounds more fit for an OS-tan. I actually think the name Vista sounds kinda cute when associated with an OS-tan

Actually, acording to my computer consultant buddy, Longhorn is now the name for their current server.  So a Longhorn tan can still be used.. just she has become Sabas younger sister

Back when the Vista and Longhorn-tans were pretty much the same person, I liked Longhorn better because I've heard of it first but now I think Vista sounds better! Mainly because I can make puns and references to it! :D

Post by: CaptBrenden on February 01, 2007, 06:43:28 PM
I never liked longhorn -_- I was born on a ranch.. long horns are big ugly stupid animals.. that smell.. and i cant help but thing of them when I hear that name.  Longhorn should be like saba.. but a longhorn with a hub on its head
Title: Longhorn or Vista?
Post by: Jon Fawkes on February 02, 2007, 10:26:15 PM
I agree!

I don't know, if done correctly, a Longhorn-tan would be cute

Why did they choose the name Vista, anyway? I know Longhorn is just a codename, but yeah, I already used to Longhorn.

Well, I guess it is not too far off then... isn't it? I mean, all those not implemented features and the fact that winhistory.de need 9 GB harddrive space for this OS...

Post by: CaptBrenden on February 27, 2007, 01:46:01 AM
bloody heck, for the last time, take the bloody bashing about the OS to the thread about the OS.  We are disscussing the NAME of it here. wether people liked longhorn as a name or vista as a name.


sorry, I was out of line. I dont want to sound angry or mean, but seriosly, we know what you think about it.  If you would like to make a bash microsoft and everything they have ever made thread, feel free too that way like minded people can help you bash and those of us that dont hate microsoft dont need to keep reading it.  

Not every thread that even mentions them needs a quip in it about why you think they suck, especialy when its not even close to what the topic is.  Some people here do use microsoft and dont hate it and might be getting a little annoyed by the bashing in every thread that you get the opertunity.

As for why it's called Vista: My guess is that it has to do with the updated GUI and all the eye candy (which I admit is really nice looking!) and "Vista" is Spanish for "view" (has some other meanings too) and Vista is supposed to be a whole new viewing experience.

Longhorn was a interesting pre name until they thought of vista and vista sounds better.  Longhorn reminds me of rodeos or some kind of ranch, cowboy stuff ;011
