I think it's your side -- MS [folks] will just ignore that and
insist on using "Weird Whatever" codenames to make the whole
thing look not serious at all.  That is, when you provide world
with alternatives, there are always those who will abuse the less
appropriate of them for any given case, and MS is quite fond of
mixing things up this way.

As often, I hope to mispredict it but still my EUR.02.

PS: actually I never understood those silly "codenames" which are 
usually neither code nor names, starting with Chicago. :)
