Tired of Vista Domains

Venolus · 07-24-2005, 02:53 AM

Hello all my pals and non-pals
I am simply tired of seeing all the vista domains
I just want to ask you all vista reg people somethiing
How can you value a product even before it is released?
I am a Microsoft certified Professional and Microsoft certified System Administrator
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/the-break-room/109352-tired-of-vista-domains.html
I know that MS XP is very good and works on a system with 64 mb min ram
MS official expectation of longhorn or the new vista is to only work on systems with 256 mb min ram
so i definitely am thinking about its popularity gain for it
MS XP being released in 2001 got popular only by 2004 mostly
you can argue that it was in 2003 but no says the official records
So its absolutely dump according to me to expect popularity for a yet unleashed product and that too an OS to be immediate
It will be only popular if there is a radical rapid transition in hardware specs of people using systems using throughout the world
Plus, is it a client OS or a Standalone OS?
Nothing is yet known
So dont be foolish and buy vista domains wasting money
Domains like vistaforums will gain popularity i assure since many dont know what vista will be and will look for info in such domain reg sites
Also appraisers like me are definiely unable to appraise a domain whose content is not yet specific nor made public
So sorry for all vista maniacs out there
Its simple old me..I love MS..I love Windows..But i definitely am not interested in Vista until its BETA 2 is released
Bye

I was just thinking the same thing as all4..check out the break room!

and yes, we're all tired of the vista talk by now

Amen to that.

Anyone got a pack of dynamite, a match, and a pile of vista domains?

worldstar · 07-24-2005, 03:42 AM

I have also search the avaibale vista names and find some, but finally resist the temptation to reg one! I can not say I will not regist one vista name in the future, but I will only register vista names I believe it is 100% worth reg!

tolkein · 07-24-2005, 03:47 AM

There's never a logic in speculation. Like I mentioned before, a single tulip could be traded for acres of land and houses in medieval Holland. It's only after the dust had settle, that the true value become obvious.

Still, I'm quite confident that the following Vista suffixes will be valuable, irregardless of whether there's mass windows upgrade or not - news, forum, themes, wallpaper, screensaver, icons, files & keygen.

Venolus · 07-24-2005, 03:50 AM

I dont think MS will stand back and watch as people roam around in ***** names
I think they'll definitely buy TM hold for ***** from that company in silicon valley

Sabre, Let’s have a fire with all of my WindowsLive and WindowsView domains instead.

anything microsoft will be big and popular even if it is crap.

derrida · 07-24-2005, 04:11 AM

I love vista domains

OMG!!!!!

mkjkhbvgjjkljhgggjdcsfbjasdVista.com is available!

Hahaha will reg. Who will be laughing in a year huh!

Venolus · 07-24-2005, 04:12 AM

I am damn against that
For me being a Microsoft Supporter, I think all their products are good, and i have tested almost all of them on person and i love them

07-25-2005, 01:54 PM

Ahh! I found it. So this is the thread I thought I had been posting in. I hate it when I have too many open windows and I post in the wrong thread! People might start thinking that I'm strange or something.

So, I pulled this from Industry News, (oops!), and present it here as a reminder to all ofmy Breakroom friends, to try to keep it together and stay w/ the topic, and be polite, puleese! After all, this is THE Breakroom. This IS Primetime. This isn't some little, backwater DN lounge, the likes of which you are gonna find the Bill Murray's of the world crooning over you. So c'mon, folks, really!

Keeping this in mind, and to show the world that it is possible to combine some good, clean fun with the serious business of domain marketing, I've reworked one of my favs especially for you.

Folks, I'd like dedicate this little number, to all of the hardworking domainer boys and girls out there- c'mon kids, now don't be bashful- you know who you are. Koochie, koochie, koo.

So now, w/o further adieu....

Hey! Did you happen to see,

They tell me they're Name Pros.

Oh yeah, now I'm a singin...

Hey! Did you happen to see,
the most beautiful name in the world?
They tell me it's Vista!"

That's right, children!
Now let's take it back up to the top, and this time, I want you all to sing along w/ me. Hey, everyone's a star, tonight!

So get ready now, and a one, and a two, and a big three for all of my heroes out there... Oh yeah!! That's right, now...

Personally, I can see where Xyris is coming from.

However, the bottom line is, with any "new" product, irrelevant of market, there is a "storm" of new reg's. It's something the registra's are loving. BUT.....never forget, Domain Investments, and investment is the key word, is as it says. You never know. Your "hope" it'll do well, and you own that gem.....

The whole industry is based on a) love and b) speculation.

OMG, it's the stockmarket

Good points Sy4. New tld rushes, aside, I have a solid 5-6 categories that I've gotten into during the early stages of an emerging name category or technology- some within hours of being announced to the general public- the kind of searches where you have to rush to the registrar and reg, because waiting an hour, (and, in some cases, only 5-10 minutes!- something that recently happenned to me no less than 3 times, in another category, BTW), means that you've waited too long. Even w/ Vista, there were 4 names that I paused overnight on, that were gone the next day.

No doubt, it is very easy to get crazy and over-reg in these situations, but new terms, trends, and tech offer todays domainer the rare oppurtunity of getting in on something that is ahead of the curve, and therefore, many of us will jump in, w/ visions of the early .com days dancing in our heads, and assume the risk. These "rushes" to register names based upon new and emerging products and services, will always be a part of domain, and domain name marketing. The registrars will continue to love it- it is part of their lifeblood-, and the early birds who nabbed the choicest names- the ones that will be a natural draw for visitors or that will bring a good return on investment through a sale, will also be loving it. Some, including, myself, from time to time, will become weary of all of the excitement and hype that surrounds these events- events that everyone else seems to be so wildly and overly enthusiastic about. Most of us have been on both sides of this fence.

Other than sheer luck, (and goodness knows, it's nice when that comes around!), figuring out where to draw the line that seperates the good and the averege names in new, emerging categories, breaks down to our domaining skill level and abilities, and how well we stay on top of the avail info- from within the domain marketing world and the emerging field that we are concentrating on. This really applies to all name registrations, in general, but the need for this preparation becomes magnified, when we are in the rush mode, often relying on instinct, and need to think and act fast, or else, lose out.

HaHa. I scored today. My neighbor runs a Microsoft group and was at the Atlanta meeting, and she brought me back some WindowsVista℠ swag. My digital cam just decided to give me exposure probs, or I would have linked you to a picture. Nicely shaped black baseball cap, Windows logo w/ WindowsVista℠ underneath.
Hmm... Time to go through the MS shopping bag full of discs she laid on me. Let's see... What do we have here... Virtual Server2005, hmm a couple of beta demos still w/ code names, some System Center security stuff, ahh 64 bit this and 64 bit that. Oh! and more.

God, don't you just love having neighbors like that?

majinbuu1023 · 07-25-2005, 11:59 PM

Vista domains have no value imho.. there are too many of them... I mean vistanews,vistaforums,vistathemes are good but this is going the same way as xbox360.. do you know how many xbox360 forums there are?? I suggest you register a domain you think has value, not a domain that everybody registers

Granted, there is alot of buzz that surrounds the release of a new tld, a strong performance in a particular sector of e-commerce, and following important announcements about new product releases etc, and a herd mentality can develop. But to say that "Vista domains have no value imho.. there are too many of them..." is overstating the case a bit.
For one thing, every name category is overstocked and only a relatively small percentage of names registered in any category can be expected to achieve success. You say , "there are too many of them". You are probably right, but that applies to all domains names- there are too many domain names registered, period- Vista isn't the exception to the rule. In addition, what motivates a large number of people to register a large quantity of names in a particular category, can't be explained away, merely, as the result of people following the lead of what "everybody" else is doing. People are drawn to particular name categories because they see potential and often because they want to "register a domain [they] think has value."
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=109352

If I'm understanding you correctly, basically, you are saying that there are too many, (Vista) domain names that have been registered, you don't think that, (at least, most), Vista names have any value, and, therefore, are not going to reg any because you believe that there are better names to register, that have more value, and you suggest that other people follow your lead. Tx. I'll take that into consideration.

majinbuu1023 · 07-26-2005, 02:22 AM

Yeah I am basically saying that.. but then again.. any domain could sell.. but it seems a waste to register domains like windowsvistaXXXX.com etc,etc...

Gotcha. Good advice. When you get to the point where you are sweating the whois for names of that calibre, and they start looking good to you because nothing else is left, it's time to take a break and get away from searching for awhile, (or longer), because, now, you know that.. you have just entered... The Twilight Zone.

barefoottech · 07-26-2005, 02:52 AM

I relented and Regged a Vista Domain (check Sig) One Keyword . Strange ccTLD
but what the hey it was Free to Reg. (Yes I mean $0.00)

Veolus · 08-06-2005, 07:36 AM

personally, i think these people are just registering the vista names before it becomes popular because by the time it becomes popular, there will probably be no more good vista names available. It's common sense IMO

Take it while it's there, you never know if it'll come in good use in the near future

By that logic, NO domains have any value because 'there are too many of them'.

I think what he means, is that the vista domain market is saturated...

It truly is saturated. But regardless of how saturated the vista domain market is, it doesn't reduce the value of the truly good vista domains.
