Vista as the OS is concerned, Microsoft wanted the first one. A visual
delight!

From WordNet:

1. (1) view, aspect, prospect, scene, vista, panorama -- (the visual percept
of a region; ``the most desirable feature of the park are the beautiful
views'' )

Or, it's a shortened version of the Spanish "hasta la vista", as in, "say
goodbye to your money"

I think you were in a different circle, there.... :-O

In the IT circles in the Northwest, it's a wait and see game. No reason to
upgrade yet, and no incentives.... Therefore, we're waiting.
