Microsoft has announced the name for its new operating system: Windows Vista. The codename was Longhorn. Of course a lot information is available right now (8 million hits in google…), but what I am interested in is a project of Eliot Masie of the Masie Center. He has started a project on Windows Vista and the new way of learning, called Vista-Learn. As he describes:

"Vista-Learn will engage a community of training, learning and IT professionals around the world to think creatively about how the learning for this new operating system will be different and to develop new ways of using the graphical, search and other collaboration aspects of Vista for general learning innovation in our organizations."

He has a posting on his blog: Learning TRENDS about this. I have send him an email to participate in thinking about the new learning. I think a lot of fresh and new ideas will come up in this project.
