All the Microsoft codenames are here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_codenames Longhorn was a ridiculous name. :P All the Microsoft codenames are here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_codenames ________________ Quoted :: Bloopy Quoted :: thomasp I suppose that's one "good" thing about my degree (aero engineering), there aren't too many terms/words/etc that have "alternative" meanings. What, like cockpits, turboshafts, thrust, nozzles, corkscrews, ram drag, payload, flaps, and wind tunnels?

In case you're too lazy to check before posting something, the original name of Windows XP was Whistler - since the announcement of the project and short before it's release. Blackcomb is the name of Vista's "successor", a Windows for server systems, estimated to be out in 2011.
