		Exactly how these codenames are decided remains a mystery, and indeed some suggest that there is meaning to be found hidden in their selection.
		Such a theory is encouraged by the eagerness with which Microsoft representatives suggest that we should not attach too much significance to codenames, even implying the names are selected almost at random.
		The problem is that, with the amount projects Microsoft is working on, it’s really hard for us to keep track of all the codenames.

		Microsoft's marketing disagreed, and it has since changed the product's handle to "Windows PowerShell." Well, Microsoft's Robert Scoble sought to find out what was going on with all the poor product name choices, and what he discovered was rather interesting: sometimes lame names are the only options a company has.
		Smith told Scoble that teams should really discuss codenames before using them and that some of the best names are ones which don't exist in search engines.
		I think it's telling that Microsoft's strategy is to have bland generic product names that won't offend anyone, rather than risking anything -- because they've come to believe that they don't have to take any risks to grow sales.

		I was planning to put together a list of all the codenames myself, but as it is typical of me, never got around to it.
		Recently I was reading "I Sing the Body Electronic: A Year With Microsoft on the Multimedia Frontier" and came up upon some Microsoft codenames that I did not know about before, such as Merlin for Microsoft Encarta.
		I decided it was time to put together that list of codenames, but it seems like since I wrote that post a list like that was put together by somebody else.

		One name, though, that stands out like a sore thumb for me is Codename Whistler.
		In a parallel example, many people have already felt Microsoft prodding its audience to move away from Windows NT 4.0: Microsoft certification in NT 4.0 will no longer be available after the end of the year.
		To be honest about the RAM question, we are doing a heck of a lot more with our PCs than we did back in the days when Windows 3.1 was avant-garde (if it ever was) and 4MB of RAM was a dizzyingly large amount.
