你还可以去这个地址 Download到Microsoft 以前的Codenames , 真的很有意思，不看你不会知道 Visual Basic 1.0 叫 Thunder , Jakarta 是最初 Visual J++ 的代号，而我们怀念的MS-DOS 6.2被称为 Elvis 。Elvis (老式挪斯语)"全能的"同Elwin。Elvis Presley是这个名字的代表人物。人们将Elvis描绘为英俊大方，唱蓝调的南方摇滚巨星 ，MS-DOS 的确象个年轻的战士而且足够英俊大方，否则他不会影响我们整个的学生时代（haha）
有趣的东东，所以我收藏了它，再过10年之后，我们也许会说Microsoft是一家有趣的公司，他不仅生产了许多有争议的软件，而且发明了许多玄妙的命名哲学，不过也足以看到Microsoft的文档记录已到达了一个精细而悠长的惯性，而其中每个软件的创造者都如此温柔和幽默。我想比尔二世在这方面很难超越他的前辈了。
小气的神
