I actually tried it didn't like it much and haven't looked at it since. The API to put it bluntly sucked but its alot more modular so thats neat for windows. Actually come to think of it the more they tweak windows the more it starts to look like linux

I was just thinking the same, only more along the lines of looking like Mac OS X. I can see a little of both in the Longhorn screenshots (haven't had the 'privilege' of running the OS itself yet...) and it looks much less tacky than previous versions, including XP.

I see M$ are being a bit presumptuous with the new name.

Quote:
Previously codenamed Longhorn, Microsoft announced late Friday that its upcoming operating system would be called Windows Vista - something that a company based in the same town as Microsoft's headquarters, Vista Inc. was not happy about.
John Wall, CEO of Vista Inc., said the company was "considering all of its options" for a potential case against Microsoft. Wall said the naming of Windows may violate a trademark his company has and potentially create confusion over the software and services Vista provides.
