"Microsoft's woes do not end there. The name Vista, which Microsoft already
publicly linked to the new Windows on July 22, is in fact already being used
by at least three software companies who are unwilling to share it. One is a
business software company founded in 1999 and owned by John Wall, a well
known technology executive in Seattle who also founded Wall Data. Wall
recently told the Seattle Times that "We are going to consider our options
and talk to them." Meanwhile, both VistA Software Alliance and World Vista,
two non-profit groups who create software used in the administration of
veterans hospitals, have denounced the new Windows brand. VistA has been in
use for over 20 years and according a recent article in Macworld "provides
the electronic records for millions of veterans in 163 hospitals, 135
nursing homes and 850 clinics." Microsoft is releasing its new version of
windows just as VistA is launching VistA-Office EHR (electronic health
record), causing further consternation to VistA 's developers. "

One difference is in major tools to fix the operating systems. A repair
install works nearly all the time in Windows XP but in Vista, Win RE's
Startup Repair may work or it may not.
