The new version of Windows, which is currectly Codename Longhorn is going to be called Vista.

The announcement will go live at 6AM PST here.

Proof was found at bink.nu when they researched some domain names.

However the name could be changed again before it RTMs

Possible both. The name just does not appeal but I could care less and just call it Windows 6 or whatever, the version remains to be seen, they have some features hardly critizised by the communities like it requiring certain standard monitors to play protected content, so if you still have some old VGA monitor (old as in VGA connection and not DVI or HDMI) that does not support HDCP protection it may not play certain content or downgrade it to a lesser resolution.

I don't blame them for dropping old hardware support. Sooner or later you've got to take the leap or we'd all be running vido designed for 4 color monitors or designing web sites using "web safe" colors that only mean anything on 256 color monitors.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.
