New secret Microsoft product on its way?
Posted by barse on April 17, 2007
Some of my colleagues thought Silverlight was a bad product name, but that’s nothing compared to this:
While looking at the tagspace section of the new Microsoft Community betas I found a tag called “Microsoft Egoism” pointing to Microsofts root web page. I found nothing on the page about this “Egoism” thing so I guess this is some kind of leak and that the product will be released at some later point in time. I strongly suggest that the guys and gals at Microsoft reconsider the name though…

That’s a user-generated tag, not a project codename.
The codename for Tagspace was….tagspace. The codename for the Microsoft.community Web services, all up, is Athens. The codename for our soon-to-be-released “recognition services” is Rapport.

Thanks for clarifying that.
On second thought, the idea of a name like “Egoism” really stands out. Maybe follow that up with a whole series of applications named after the seven deadly sins…
