| | Hi friends,
Did you know Microsoft uses codename for its software products. i.e, they have a different name while in development stage than the one they attach for release.
I know of a few names. Here they are:
Code Name Software
------------- ----------
Janus Windows 3.1
Chicago Windows 95
Memphis Windows 98
Neptune Planned Successor of Windows 98 - cancelled
Daytona Windows NT 3.5
Longhorn Successor to Windows XP
I got these names in a forwarded mail....
I think my friend has got more of them.. I wud post them after getting them..
Cheers... |

Because we all know forwarded e-mails are sources of valid, credible information... I don't doubt that Microsoft uses codenames for their products, I'm just saying that if you believe every e-mail you get that you're going to be really disappointed when Gates doesn't send you a check for $300.

Actually pretty much all reputable companies use "codenames" for their products, especially Microsoft. For example, "XBOX Next". You can get a full list of the Micro$oft codenames here: http://www.phm.lu/Documentation/Windows/Codenames.asp It's interesting...I guess.

it back on, and it restores to XP (Witch is good because it wouldn't start up at all). I've

How Many Times Do You Reinstall Windows In A Year
There goes some useful tips about it. (19) I reinstall (restore) windows almost every 2-3 months. What about you??? Seeing the title some would

see you in other post. Reinstalling windows is a daily chore for the students studying computers.
They have to switch a lot of softwares, compilers etc etc. Windows as we know, will not tolerate a
whole lot of (Un)installations and will ultimately slow down the whole system. This is not the case
with Linux. Just consider this, I installed Red Hat WS 3(the older version whi....
