@Mark, Good suggestions. I’m really hoping that Microsoft give WPF/e a nickname of ‘Splash’ to further cement their wanna-be status.

Methinks that Suketu, who commented above, read this post and the post from Ted Patrick about Mike Chambers releasing the production name for Apollo. But I don’t think he read the comments or noticed the date.

I should be a good blog citizen and tell Suketu that this was an April fools thing . . . but I’m not. :-)

I laughed out loud when I read that. Probably not the final name, much?

Funny thing is, I can’t really blame Microsoft for WPF. They’re selling an operating system and WPF is just a small part of it. Doesn’t make sense for them to give it a fancy name. That said, I seriously doubt they’ll go that route with whatver they end up naming WPF/e.

My predictions for the final name for Apollo?

1. Flash Desktop
2. Splash (catchy, huh?)
3. Browser 2007
4. Irrelevant?
