Windows Vienna

by gernot on Jan.31, 2006, under Misc, Nerd Stuff

Auf www.gerstbach.at habe ich gerade gelesen das Microsoft den Codenamen des Windows Vista-Nachfolgers Blackcomb auf Vienna geändert hat.

Obwohl im oben genannten Blog von Peter eher kritisch auf diese Tatsache hingewiesen wird bin ich doch eher der Meinung das das schon ein bisschen eine Ehre ist. Lustig nur das Wien auf Linux umstellt ;-)

Zitat von microsoftwatch.com:

Code name junkies, update your trackers. The next major version of Windows client set to follow Windows Vista is no longer known as “Blackcomb.” The new name is “Vienna,” Microsoft officials have confirmed.

But here’s the official statement from a company spokesman: “The codename for Blackcomb has changed to ‘Vienna’. This does not reflect a big change for us; we have used city code names in the past. These code names are derived from cities/locations in the world known for great ‘vistas’. The kinds of places we all want to see, experience and that capture the imagination. Vienna fits with this concept. There are no additional details to share about Vienna at this time.”
