Ludicrous Product Naming

October 6th, 2005 · 1 Comment · Miscellaneous software

The MSDN Subscriber Downloads feed just listed something called “Update Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 v2 (All Languages)”.

Why can’t we just have Update Rollup 2 for Windows 2000 Service Pack 4? How about Windows 2000 Service Pack 5?

On the other hand, perhaps we should be grateful there wasn’t an Update Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 v2 (All Languages) Beta 1.

    If this was the Mozilla Foundation it could even have been “Update Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 v2 (All Languages) Beta 1 Release Candidate 1″
