I;m resuming my Microsoft Code Title each day series that I began in December 2006. The goal: To provide the back tale,
Office 2010 Pro, each and every day in August, on 1 of Microsoft;s myriad code names. A few of these code names could be familiar to Microsoft watchers; others (hopefully) will likely be brand-new.Microsoft code names provide some terrific clues regarding the Redmondians’ improvement priorities, not to point out a greater comprehension of which long term Microsoft items match collectively,
Windows 7 64bit, from a technique standpoint. Instead of each and every product group is moving to uninteresting, numbered codenames (like Windows seven and Workplace 14).Without further ado, let the codename video games begin.Microsoft
code name
of the day:
ScorpioMicrosoft code name with the day: ScorpioBest guess on what it can be: The 80GB Zune 2Meaning/context with the code identify: Microsoft;s Zune crew has become plucking its codenames from Greek legends and/or constellations. “Argo” was the codename for the first Zune line. Scorpio is the expected 80GB Zune 2. “Draco” is the rumored 4GB/8GB Flash-based Zune 2. Pyxis is the wireless-sharing functionality (also known by the far-less-regal-sounding term “squirt”) the was part with the first line of Zunes.Back again tale: The Scorpio Zunes are expected to get hard-drive-based,
Office 2010 Key, not Flash-based.Further info: The rumored launch date for the second wave of Zunes (Scorpio and Draco) is holiday 2007. Alleged screen shots of the new Zunes have been leaking all over this week. With Apple expected to roll out new iPod models on September 5,
Windows 7 Pro, Microsoft has even more catching up to do.Got a Microsoft code name you’ve been wondering about? Send it my way and I’ll do my best to track down some leads on what it could possibly be.And if you want to keep track of the full month;s worth of Microsoft code names I end up posting,
