With the recent name announcement of Windows Vista, one can wonder what the other names the Microsoft executives were considering for the name of the operating system. With a little bit of research you can verify or deny a lot of the final names. 

Rumor has it that the name Windows Vista was picked from a narrowed selection of 4 possible names. But there may be more. So far the known names are:

• Windows Vista
• Windows Seven
• Windows View
• Windows Ruby

All of these names are linked to their .US domain registration confirming that they were in fact considered by Microsoft. But are these the only names?
