Microsoft Windows Vista
OK, so the name Longhorn was ripe for punning and abuse, but I've read a few mentions that Microsoft's Longhorn will be called 'Vista'. Yes, it conjures the wide open plains and wanderin' cowboys and stuff. I'd still prefer Longhorn, which has bucketloads more character.
I took a squizz at dictionary.com, and (part of) one of the definitions for vista:
A distant view or prospect
No surprises there.
