CUViper 0 Posted November 19, 2000 simple question.... what was the codename for win2k? I was explaining to my friends that whistler is just the codename for the next os, and they asked me what win2k's codename was, and I can't for the life of me remember it.... Share this post Link to post
INFERNO2000 0 Posted November 19, 2000 easiest thing to do is refer to Whistler as 2001, like MS did at Comdex Share this post Link to post
clutch 1 Posted November 20, 2000 Yeah, I can't remember either. I think that Win98 was "Memphis", but I was so used to seeing Win2K referred to as "NT 5.0" that I can't think of what the official codename was. ------------------ Regards, clutch Share this post Link to post
jdulmage 0 Posted November 20, 2000 The only codenames I can remember were Chicago Memphis Millennium Asteroid Oydessy Neptune Whistler that's all I can think of.... Share this post Link to post
jdulmage 0 Posted November 20, 2000 well, I just talked to Paul Thurott, you'd think we would know. He tells me there was never a codename for Windows 2000. Share this post Link to post
Bursar 0 Posted December 1, 2000 I think Cairo was the codename for a Win95 front end to be bolted on to Windows NT 3.51. In the end MS canned it and we got what is now NT 4. Share this post Link to post
Bursar 0 Posted December 1, 2000 Oh, and don't forget Blackcombe. The codename for the OS after Whistler. That's going to be the 'true' melding of the 9x and NT families if you believe the rumours. Share this post Link to post
jdulmage 0 Posted December 2, 2000 BlackComb!! not blackcombe...if you know anything about Canadian mountains, you'll know that it's BlackComb and they are naming the OS after the mountain in British Columbia.. BlackComb is being done from stratch Share this post Link to post
