Okay, this makes more sense

I can strike down another draft post I’ve had waiting for a while, because Microsoft apparently hasn’t gone batty with names like I was under the impression they had.

Unlike Apple, which actually releases operating systems with names like “Tiger” and “Panther” or possibly “Grouse,” Microsoft has announced the official name of “Longhorn”, and it’s not an animal (or part thereof).

I’m a fan of names like “Windows” or even “OS 9”…these names described the product. “Tiger” sounds like a really horrible cologne.
