I got these names in a forwarded mail....

Because we all know forwarded e-mails are sources of valid, credible information...
I don't doubt that Microsoft uses codenames for their products, I'm just saying that if you believe every e-mail you get that you're going to be really disappointed when Gates doesn't send you a check for $300.

Actually pretty much all reputable companies use "codenames" for their products, especially Microsoft. For example, "XBOX Next". You can get a full list of the Micro$oft codenames here: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ It's interesting...I guess.
