Bradenton, FL | Whats behind the catchy sounding name Even with a catchy sounding name, is the new OS even worth getting? Does it have enough enhancements and upgrades to make it worthwhile for people to spend the money to switch from XP? Any company can give a product a catching sounding name but most people are looking at the substance. |

Richardson, TX | Beg to differ, viper - I would agree that most people who visit THIS site will be looking at the substance, as have we all ever since the first hints of Longhorn surfaced. However, in the grand scheme of things, now that Microsoft has come up with this catchy play-on-words name, it's a pretty safe bet that that is all it will take to bring the pundits and analysts out of the woodwork to say "It's FABULOUS! STUPENDOUS! INCREDIBLY NEW! YOU"LL LOVE IT!!!" and the masses will eat it up without wondering what it's made of, which is exactly what the marketing folks in Redmond want.

I'm sure that MS has come up with something more based on their OSX research than just a moderately catchy name over the past few years. |

for me it's worth the upgrade. i have a AMD 64 CPU and windows vista is supposed to be a 64-bit OS.
