    Going on an e-XPedition?

    The Inquirer think they have discovered the name of the next Windows version. It's currently codenamed Longhorn of course, but we can't call it that forever, and it seems the marketing guys may have decided upon a name to go on the box.
    Microsoft Windows e-XPedition.

    Expedition, geddit? Apparently, marketing suits are happy that the name evokes ideas of the 'e-home' as well as the familiar 'XP' and Media Centre 'Edition', elements of which are all found in Longhorn. It also echoes the 'Where do you want to go today?' slogan, which has become a Microsoft catchphrase.
    Check out the article here.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    First post here. Brilliant site I must say. And a few words about e-XPedition, I think it is rather aptly named considering it will make hardcore Windows power users undertake and expedition in itself to secure the system and get rid of M$'s typical bloatware. I do not know if I should laugh or shake my head at this marketing naming thingy.
