Windows Vista，Longhorn的大名，下一代操作系统，WinFS/Indigo/Avalon，令人期待，热血沸腾……

　　从Windows 2003开始微软就不再使用年代作为操作系统的版本了。Windows XP中的XP是Experience的所写，意思是增强用户体验。而新一代的操作系统命名为Vista（n.景色、展望）微软的解释为：“Today, we live in a world of 'more' -- more information, more ways to communicate, more things to do, more opportunities -- and at the same time, more responsibilities. Increasingly, we all turn to our PCs to help us with that. At the end of the day, what you're after is a way to break through all the clutter to focus on what you want to focus on, what you need to do. What you're trying to get to is your own personal Vista -- whether that is trying to organize photos, or trying to find a file or trying to connect and collaborate with a number of people electronically.”看样子Vista将给我们带来更快更方便获得我们想要信息的方式。

　　随着Windows Vista明年的发布，相信Vista将成为2006年最时髦的单词。就像XP发布后，什么office xp、style xp等等软件都冠名XP。2006，不知道又会有多少的Vista诞生。在我看来，微软帝国带来的已经不仅仅是软件了，而是更广泛的文化影响和生活方式的改变。
