| Nov 16, 2011 at 2:08 | comment | added | John Gardeniers | @Andrew, does that mean we should also create version number tags for Microsoft products and synonym the release name to the version numbers? Why this call for consistency that is so totally inconsistent? | |
| Nov 16, 2011 at 1:36 | comment | added | Andrew | @JohnGardeniers We already synonymed the Ubuntu "codenames" to their version numbers. Besides, the percentage of "professional desktop support" questions around all versions of Mac OS X is tiny compared to any version of Windows. | |
| Nov 15, 2011 at 22:24 | comment | added | John Gardeniers | Sorry but we do in fact refer to Microsoft products by name, not version numbers. Not the dev names perhaps but names nonetheless. e.g. Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows NT, Windows Server 2003, etc., etc. How is that different to Tiger, Lion, Leopard, etc.? | |

| Nov 15, 2011 at 19:28 | comment | added | Mark Henderson Mod | I feel teh same about Ubuntu names, only the problem there is that I know we have a few Ubuntu 10.2 servers, but EVERYTHING in their sites refers to Natty or Lucid or some other crazy name and I can never remember which arbitrary name we're running | |

| Nov 15, 2011 at 16:58 | comment | added | Chopper3 Mod | But they're wrong, it's stupid, we're IT pro's we should talk in riddles and numbers all the time otherwise 'they' will figure out it's all very easy and fire us :) | |

The problem is that Microsoft doesn't market it as Whistler where Apple strongly pushes the name as the branding over the version number.
