> No sir, we're not talking about "Longhorn" anymore.  It's now here!
> We're only talking about Vista.  "Longhorn" R&D is not worth talking
> about anymore, we're delivering you a great OS!  It's more secure, boots
> 5% faster on average and even better!  "WinFX technologies"?  Oh, yeah,
> well, don't worry about those, we're adding them later.

> Oh, you still want WinFX?  Vista is great!  Isn't Vista great?  Yeah,
> oh ... when were we going to add them?  Well, truth is, we've already

>
> All those neato WinFX technologies, they're going to be in "Vienna."
> Yes sir, a true .NET platform, that's "Vienna"!  We're going to add them

> Isn't Vista great?  It's almost here!  And if you think Vista is cool,

> and it's coming!
>
> Until then, Vista is more secure!  It's great!  We can't do everything,
> but it's going to be more secure!  We've improved Win32 and improved MS
> IE!  And there's a new version of MS Office!  Totally written for and
> native to only Vista!  But we realize not everyone is moving to Vista,
> so we made it so MS Office can run on Windows 2000SP3 and later too!  We
> give you better security but the ability to run old apps!  Isn't Vista
> great?
>
> And if you think Vista, the new Office and IE 7 is cool, you'll love
> "Vienna."  It's going to be .NET, a new security model, a new filesystem
> with SQL and a new, protected scripting environment far more security
> than UNIX, and everything will be authenticated, encrypted, signed and
> viruses and spyware completely eliminated!  Yes, "Vienna" is everything!
>
> Until then, isn't Vista great?!  We spent 5 years working on it after

> stuff is cool, wait until our next Windows OS, "Vienna."  Native .NET,
> full security model, SQL-based filesystem ... and more!
