Code names? We don’t need no stinkin’ code names!

Published July 28, 2005

Bink.nu says the code names are dropping like flies. First it was Longhorn getting its official moniker, Windows Vista. Now the Avalon and Indigo code names are history:

Avalon == Windows Presentation Foundation

Indigo == Windows Communication Foundation

And who knew that AERO, the user experience guidelines for Windows Vista, actually stands for Authentic, Energetic, Reflective, and Open?
