To further complicate matters, the news media will often refuse to use VistA instead of Vista when it is published, so that will not serve to distinguish it and I wonder if WorldVistA will ever be published correctly either! Considering the pervasiveness of this spelling "technique" in the computer world, I hope that the newsmedia changes their tune and does it right! After all, a name is a name and the media seems a little pig headed (not to pick on pigs) if it thinks it has the right to do with a name as it chooses. If JohnLeo wants to be JohnLeo, it seems it should be his choice, not the choice of a publisher.
