Ever since I heard the name Vista, I have been calling it "Chicken". My friends and I think that this is quite amusing. I have setup a web site www.windowschicken.com and I'm looking for input on what to put up there. I am a person of Latvian heritage and I speak fluent Latvian.

In most of the translatable languages, it comes out as Vista.

I'm half Lithuanian myself (and always amazed when the country comes up in anything) and will from here on out always refer to Windows Vista as Windows Chicken. Thanks! What a great name!
