The "Vista" in "Windows Vista" as an Acronym

Someone on the #joiito IRC channel quipped that the “Vista” in Windows

Vista (the next version of the Microsoft Windows) is an acronym for the

top five Windows problems:

  • Viruses
  • Instability
  • Spyware
  • Trojans
  • Adware

Spyware and adware are serious enough problems that according to Bob and Greg from Tucows’ shareware department, spyware and adware removal software is the most popular and profitable shareware category right now.

I think that “Vista” could be short for “Vaunted Imminent ScobleTouted Application”.
