Engadget HD public service announcement -- the Boston Acoustics
Vista speakers have nothing to do with any other products (
HT-related or
not) in the marketplace using the name Vista. For both of the people out there who may have been confused on that point, Boston Acoustics is renaming the entire model line "VS," to signify the speakers as "a new Vision in great Sound." The company is not making even a suggestion that Microsoft applied any pressure, which makes us even more disappointed in the new name -- the "Vista" moniker was a lot easier to remember. We hope another PSA clarifying that these speakers can do more than play a certain Pearl Jam album is not called for.

Or the far better Mission of Burma album whose title was bogarted by Pearl Jam.

They probably realized it was very bad for SEO. Competing with Microsoft with the that term.

They should have renamed the speakers "Mojave."
