THE VOLE has changed the codename for the operating system following Vista – hey, these kind of things are important, right?
According to Daily Tech, the futureware formerly known as Blackcomb will be called Vienna. We nor the site have no idea whatever how long it took for Volish wizards to come up with this one, nor why the codename’s been changed.

Vista, the operating system formerly known as Longhorn, is due to be released later this year, with the hardware firms all holding their breath that Microsoft will wreak a miracle and persuade the world+dog to upgrade, upgrade and upgrade again.

More at Daily Tech, here.

Why am I not surprised...

Meh, I've heard scarier things... Like this

Vista system requirements:
4.0 Ghz Intel Pentium D or equivalent
2GB system memory
Nvidia 7800GT or ATI X1800XT or higher video card
25GB free hard drive space
Internet connection (so we can monitor every single one of your activities even though it violates the U.S. Constitution)

Perhaps it does, but however you write it, it's still kinda scary.

This is really strange codename to choose: the city of Vienna, capital of austria, europe is migrating completely to Linux

I thought that blackcomb was the windows version after longhorn/vista

Captain Newbie · Mar 7, 2006

And I thought the one after Vista was Singularity. But I don't keep up on codenames, I like version numbers better: less typing.

(Seriously, it's easier to type '5.10-x86' than it is 'Breezy Badger for x86'.

)

Sorry, I should have explained the OP. Blackcomb was the version after Vista, but now its been changed to Vienna. The point of this post was to see if anyone cares.

Lemme guess the system requirements:

Quad-core 64 bit CPU, 6GHz Intel or 4.5GHz AMD
DirectX 11 compatible dual GPU setup
4GB DDR3 RAM
20GB free HDD space
800W PSU (

)

Anything I'm missing?
