i know.

fyi, WindowsXP was codenamed “Whistler”. Windows 7 was originally codenamed “Blackcomb”, but that codename was later dropped. Windows Home Server 2011 was codenamed “Vail”.

the MS team has a history of using ski resorts and related names as codenames for windows betas.

Oh yes, I’m well aware but couldn’t remember what names connected to the proper OS. I’ve always had the joking idea in my head that the names came from a project manager who didn’t actually do anything except daydream about where their next paid vacation was booked lol

Whistler Blackcomb was the name of a resort that the Windows design team used to on retreat to. They would also go elsewhere, as I’m sure you can guess…

Windows 11 was codenamed “Sun Valley”
