MS To Rename Vista?

Is Microsoft in trouble for using the name “Vista”? Will they have to change the name again? If you are like me and thought that “Vista” was a crappy name to start with, this is probably good news.

Microsoft may be in trouble for naming its forthcoming operating system Vista after it transpired that the name has been registered by an American company for nearly six years. Vista, which operates a small business internet interchange, is actually based in Microsoft's home town of Redmond. It was started in May 2000 by John Wall, the founder of Wall Data and an erstwhile investor in SCO.
