Okay, this makes more sense

If you think any of this gibberish looks interesting, you should poke around and subscribe to my RSS feed to keep up with new content.

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.

“tiger” sounds like a really horrible cologne? i think it’s somewhat reminiscent of that word associated with a large feline with stripes.
