I don't think Vienna would have been a good name for the release because it would remind people too much of the hot dog. I think they should hold a naming contest and whoever comes up with the best name gets a free computer or something.

Good call. Of course the legal department would have to approve any name first. We are a litigious society after all.

Oh crap! Still I was thinking of it as a city not as brand of hot dogs. At least I had the right continent.

Ha, I was thinking Italy as well though. I never was good at geography.

Stupid move by Microsoft. Vienna would have been a good name for the next release.

I read in maxium pc that Vienna was named as such because it’s “a city with a great vista”
But still it’s no excuce for the weird names.
