i didn`t like it at first but to Microsofts credit they have used a name that means something, this will help sell their product and advertise it.

At first I didn't like Longhorn, I thought what a stupid name for a windows verison, Then I didn't like Vista but I came to liking Vista a LOT quicker than I came to liking Longhorn... I still think Longhorn was a pretty stupid name for a windows version, but meh, that's just me!
