Check this out: On the msdn Message boards[^]this guy calls vista "Longhorn"! "Longhorn" is so much more secure than "Whistler", "Asteroid", "Memphis", "Chicago", etc (all codenames from windows 95, 98, 2k, xp, and vista). :laugh:

on my current pc i had installed ubuntu. the installer added a bios operating system selector and on the list show some 6 or 7 different ubuntu builds/run modes and at the bottom of the list you can select "Vista/Longhorn".

The OS boot loader you're seeing is not part of the BIOS, it resides in your boot sector not in the CMOS chip. The BIOS runs when you power on. It then hands off to the boot loader. The boot loader then hands over to the chosen/default OS.
