I'm glad Microsoft finally gave their next OS it's final name.
"Longhorn" was a bit peculiar.

Longhorn is better then Vista, all their codenames are better then the
shipping names, well apart from Whistler / XP.

I was secretly hoping for Windows 2006.

You have to know the history. Blackcomb and Whistler were the
development project names for previous versions of Windows. Both are
the names of mountains at a popular ski resort in British Columbia, a
few hours drive north of Seattle/Redmond.
Longhorn is the name of a popular bar/pub in the ski resort town of
Whistler B.C., which is situated between Blackcomb and Whistler
mountains.
Vista could be a reference to the magnificent scenic views from the
top of either mountain.

I was all set for the names of the Longhorn editions. Drat. Longhorn for
Pro, Shorthorn for Home, Flugelhorn for MCE, Carhorn for Windows Auto,
Foghorn for Windows Starter, Windows N (Europe) could have been Dehorned,
even the MBR could have been Shoehorn. The possibilities were just endless.
