And we all know how well Microsoft software is regarded. ;)

Look at the latest ones though (slight cherry-picking, but hey):

Longhorn
Mojave
Q, Quattro
Vail
Cougar
Viridian
Centro
Blackcomb, Vienna
Red Dog

A little more positive/aggressive-sounding, perhaps?

Windows mobile:
Magneto
Crossbow
Yamazaki
Photon

Nothing soft-sounding here either. I'm probably leaving myself open to
the whole Android dessert-based stuff, aren't I? But then, Google has

Cupcake? Cakes can't be bad. Android NetTrax? Uh.
