New version of Windows to be called 'Vista'

Microsoft Corp. is expected to call the next version of its flagship product "Windows Vista," departing from its long-standing use of acronyms and years as suffixes in the name of the dominant PC operating system. The company yesterday scheduled a Windows-related announcement this morning, declining to confirm any details. But there were widespread reports online that Microsoft had disclosed the new product name yesterday to employees at the Microsoft Global Briefing, an internal conference in Atlanta. Microsoft hasn't publicly filed to register the name with the federal Patent and Trademark Office, according to an online search last night. But online reports noted that the company is the owner of the online domain name, windowsvista. us. The ownership of the more common windowsvista.com and windowsvista.net wasn't clear.
The "Vista" name would be in line with the vision the company has presented for the operating system, which is due on the market next year, replacing the current Windows XP.
The new program will have transparent window frames and feature an enhanced search system, among other things.
The next Windows has been known to this point by the code name Longhorn. Windows runs more than 90 percent of the world's personal computers and is Microsoft's biggest product.
