Codename watch: Windows "Fiji" and Firefox "Minefield" (Download Squad)
Feb 9th 2007 1:50AM @Djaxn
Windows 95 was Chicago, Win98 was Memphis, I don't think either IE6 or Win2k were given codenames - at least they weren't publicly announced.
No, I didn't use google. And yes, I have a social life, way from computers. I develop software for living ... and yes, codenames with negative connotations tend to stick, where as codenames with obscure links tend to be forgotten. If Microsoft had announced that the next version of Windows would be using the code name Chernobyl rather than Fiji or Vienna, there would be alot of press coverage about the name alone, and it would stick in peoples minds ...
