Why do I always like the code names better? "Longhorn" goes "Vista"

Seems funny that, but I always get stuck on the code names (probably because they are around so long and become so entrenched) that I really don't look forward to 'marketing' name being announced. I remember one of worst (for me) was InfoPath. Not that I don't like the name, I do. But XDocs just seemed so 'comfy' that even months after its release, I was still calling it XDocs by force of habit. So today we are introduced to “Vista”.... 'ah the wonderful view from the operating system formally name as “Longhorn”'. Not that I loved the “Longhorn” tag per se, but it does sound a little more rugged/robust than “Vista” does don'tcha think? Well... guess it better than XP2 or Windows 2008 ;)
