Microsoft Windows Vista & Vista Blinds

(1/3) > >>

sledz41:
Ok I know that people outside of Australia might have a hard time understanding this but over here we have an advertisment on tv from a Company that retails in Window Coverings, there company is called Vista.



It seems very Ironic that Microsofts next Windows is named Vista.

Both uses of the word Vista are related to Windows. One to be applied to windows and other to be thrown out of the windows.

Tired of those ugly XP Blinds on your Windows, Upgrade to Vista! Call Vista Now!! (Vista Blinds and Venetians)

worker201:
They'll probably come up with some other name for the Australian market.  Longhorn wouldn't be a bad idea.  Nor would "if you thought Sony's rootkit cds were bad, wait till you try the new Windows".

H_TeXMeX_H:
Why do they even bother with ads ? They're a fucking monopoly ... there is no other choice ... at least for most people (the really stupid ones) ... the ones who say "my computeh hates meeeehhh !!!!" ... or "I'm not gooddh with computeeehhs"

Master of Reality:
maybe thats why they chose the name... you know their operating system is "Windows".... They saw a company calling their windows "Vista" and decided to steal the name :)

inane:
I'm sorry Master... I highly doubt Microsoft got the idea from an australian company, no offence. I used to live in Redmond and still maintain a couple friends up there. The worker bees have little on their minds outside of work, family and stuff they can buy, management is not much different. Vista is a very good name for an Operating System regardless of it's relativeness to a window or "view".
