just like 'manila' 'Newcastle' some of the codnames of athlon64 used by amd
it's because of nosey journalists that they even know....
I don't know that there are copyrights on country names.
The US Military didn't come after a software company I worked at when we had our internal code name "Stealth!"
And I don't recall the Longhorn calling up Microsoft... oh that's right... because it's a f****** mountain!
He's going to feel like a real dick bag once he realizes it's an internal name.
Even if it came out released as Fiji (which we all know it wont) surely that would be good publicity
Clearly you guys know this is false. Why not caveat the story with, "this is hilarious but patently untrue."
does fiji want some money?
does fiji want some money?
yea they went some billion from MS
becuz they are small island that cant project that
I think Fiji is scheduled to go into Vista, actually. From what remember they said that they intended to update the MC shell from the time Vista was released.
Fiji's plan is working and you already lost the game.
Haha, you vegetable....
Though Venice is a codename of a cpu core.
Haha, you vegetable....
LOL - I thought it, you posted it!
So is it Windows Fiji or Microsoft Fiji? And im still not sure what exactly Fiji is complaining about since it sounds like the Coedname, not the final name (as about 10,000 other people have said). Even if it was the final product name, there are copyrights on Country names now?
This whole thing = someone trying to get something for nothing. Big company, target of stupid complaints in an attempt to extort funds to shut them up.
Fiji is just another annoying spot in the map.
Time to grow up, Fiji? Or are you in need of some money? Microsoft isn't an ATM you know.
Ah well. Fortunately, there's no law against this so let's just ship off a box of tissues.
