Windows XP (Experience) was originally to be Windows 2002, I think.

"New Enterprise Server Takes Shape, Gets New Name: Windows 2002

LOS ANGELES, April 30, 2001 -- In an address to Gartner, Inc. "Windows 2000 and Beyond" conference today, John Enck, Gartner's research director of server strategies, revealed that [b]Microsoft's enterprise server products, previously code-named "Whistler," will be released under the name Windows 2002[/b].

In February, Microsoft announced the official product name of Windows XP, the company's next-generation desktop operating system, which had previously [b]shared the Whistler code name with the server products[/b]."

Just so you all know...

If the correct answer is Whistler, I was the first.  The prize is mine. Mine, mine, mine!  I'll sue you all [argue]

Edited to ask what the hell those arguing smilies are saying.  It looks like Japanese characters.  Anyone?

Thanks.

You can take that dollar and donate it to your favorite charity, or ar15.com.  Or give it to Alf and he can make a phone call.

I'm not sure that Whistler was the intended name, or just a code name for their project.  I don't know why the need a damn code name if that was the case.

I can't claim a dollar for something I didn't know anyway.  I looked it up on the WWW.

On second thought, just use that buck for a few rounds for your AR.  With each shot bow to the west and chant "JEROSU, YOU ARE MY HERO." [50]

Edited to say:
Oh wait, what part of Oregon are you in?  I'm in Corvallis.  So bow towards Corvallis and shoot!
