What is this page?
This page is dedicated to new words created with combination with the word
VISTA that is the new Operating System by Microsoft. This page will be
organized into a database later on.
I created this page so that credit can go to the creator of the word,
along with the original meaning attached to the word.
If you want to submit new words please do so here
Vistology: talking about vista = the science of the study of the OS
Trivia: apparently this word was not new since a site with that name
already existed: http://vistology.com
Vistaphile: one having an affinity for or a strong attraction to Vista
Vistosis: Is a sickness with nausea and upset stomach.
(also loss of hair and se**ual incompetence has been observed in some
occasions) caused by the use of the unfriendly GUI of vista
Added: Cure for vistosis
Avoid Alpha and Beta radiation for as long as you can.
Take 2 XPills before bed,
and drink lots of OSX juice... (a glass of apple juice a day takes a doctor
away).
Perhaps some poultry, from polar icy locations is better than red meat.
;-)
