To be exact, all the codenames:

CE stands for nothing according to MS books (not sure which one, either "Inside Microsoft Windows CE" by John Murray or "Introducing Microsoft Windows CE for the Handheld PC" by Robert O'Hara).

Actually CE 1.0 was Pegasus. Alder was 2.0 and Birch was 2.12 (with the first PPC).

Dear Francis,

I guess the CE in Windows CE stands for Components Embedded

Actually Bowmore is my favorite Scotch! I love the peat smoke flavor, but then to each his own. Hope you're doing well Brandon.

For everyone else, Bowmore = Windows CE 5.01 (an internal only release to support Windows Mobile 5.0).

Sadly, thanks to lawyers, future OS versions will be code named after numbers (think 'Seven', 'Eight', etc). My personal prediction is that this will lead to insane confusion when the numbered code names begin to differ from the marketing-determined product version numbers.

zhaoyongpeng,

The code name "Yamazaki" is following the second half of our naming convention; it's named after a whiskey. Specifically, a Japanese whiskey (http://www.whiskeywise.com/Japanese-Whisky-Yamazaki.html)

Thanks,
