          "Tiger" and "Leopard" both sound silly, which is why, at least when speaking of them, I tend to say OS X 10.4; I'd rather say Windows 6.0 or 2006 instead of "Vista".
          I'll second that. "Vista" sounds too forced... just like "Longhorn" - ick.

            Vista is appropriate if you think of its definition.

              vista means a new horizon...

              bleh. Windows 2K6 would have looked more interesting... or "Windows Century 21"

                Actually, from a marketing point of view, that's quite smart... Because then you feel you have old software and then you need to... Yes, that's right, buy new software and enter into that inevitable circle again...

                Are you ready for the circle?
