All About Microsoft CodeTracker
Keeping track of Microsoft's myriad codenames is an (almost) full-time occupation. I know, as I
spend a lot of my work hours tracking down the latest names in the hopes of being able to betterkeep tabs on what's coming next from the Redmondians.
Each month, I'll be releasing an updated, downloadable version of the CodeTracker. I'll add new
codenames -- arranged in alphabetical order by codename -- of forthcoming Microsoft products
and technologies. I also will note timing changes (date slips, the release of a new test build, the
disappearance of a planned deliverable) for entries that are already part of the Tracker. Once
Microsoft releases the final version of a product or technology I've been tracking, I will remove it
from the Tracker. In that way, the CodeTracker will remain focused on futures.
(An aside about the Tracker: A question mark in place of an entry means I have insufficient
information to hazard even an educated guess about a particular category.)
If you have suggested new entries or corrections to existing ones, please drop me an e-mail at
mjf at microsofttracker dot com.
Thanks!

This Month's Theme: The Lull Before the Storm
It’s going to be a bus y fall for Microsoft on the new product front. Windows Phone 7s are
coming, as is the Kinect gaming sensor. The just-released Windows Live Essentials 2011 services
are Microsoft’s big play on the PC side of the house for holiday 2010. And on the business f ront,
announcements are coming on the Windows Azure, BPOS and security fronts.
What does that mean, in terms of brand-new codenames? Not a lot. Most of these products and
services have been on my chart for months, if not years – under their various codenames
(Photon, Natal, Windows Live Wave 4, etc.) as Microsoft has been working on them. And the
next releases of most of Microsoft’s flagship products are still a ways away.
That’s why most of the codenames I’ve been adding to the Tracker recently have been from the
Research and incubation side of the Microsoft house. This month is no exception. Brand-new

entries to this codename tracker include HomeOS, LightSpace and Manual Deskerity – none of
which is on the commercialization path (so far).
But I’ve also updated a number of links and due dates throughout the Tracker, as I do each
month. There have been a number of new test builds released for products including IE 9 andSBS 7. And there’ve been a few products and technologies that got the axe in the past month,
including Lime, the Oslo Repository, Quadrant and Vine.
Hopefully the busy fall will result in some more Microsoft codenames shaking loose. In the
interim, and without further ado, it's on to this month's Microsoft CodeTracker.
