Vista is Longhorn. Longhorn was the code name used during beta testing :yesnod:

Actually its also the Codename for Server 2008, so it technically still isn't out yet ;)

Yeah, if I had to guess, I'd guess he's talking about the server.

Well I think even though it was the Codename for Server 2008, it was called Longhorn Server
Plus Server 2008 is the official name now so the Codename isn't used anymore
