What is this Blog?
This Blog is dedicated to new words created with combination with the word VISTA that is the new Operating System by Microsoft. This page will be organized into a database later on.
I created this page so that credit can go to the creator of the word,
along with the original meaning attached to the word.
If you want to submit new words please do so in the comments

deebs
7/29/2006
These two words have the same ancestry: VistaGo
But whereas VistaGoGoGo is related to developers in making Vista (all or
in parts) available VistaGoGo is usually related to those downloading or
otherwise installing the parts (some or all) made available. These are
closely related terms.
Example #1:
Developer: VistaGoGoGo on build ABCD will be week commencing dd/mm
Recipient: VistaGoGo on date dd/mm
Example #2:
This is almost contrary to the definition where both developers and
users exclaim VistaGoGoGo once new or newer drivers are made available
or indeed custom and bespoke software is made available for all to use.
Developer and/or User: Wow today is a VistaGoGoGo day - new printer
drivers (**) are on the net
(** or indeed video card drivers or ... )

Levistra comes in 3 different dosages which allows you to titrate and tailor the getting Vista up to your needs.
Levistra can be taken with food; Vistiagra should be taken on "empty stomach."
Levistra keeps Vista up longer than Vistiagra because it works up to 6 hours. Vistiagra works from 3 -6 hours in large studies.
Vistiagra has among its side effects a unique one of bluish vision. Seeing blue in 3% of people who take it, is caused by blockage of an enzyme in the
retina. This same enzyme is blocked in another location often thought of with Vistiagra which is the main mechanism for getting ole Vista up.
Vistiagra can cause anterior ischemic neuropathy (NAION) in a component of people who have other arterial blockages.
