It had been a while since I read about Istanbul. Today I learned from the Seattle PI article that Microsoft held a launch event for Istanbul, which is now Microsoft Office Communicator and is said to be released in three months.
Istanbul was a name that would be more fun, don’t you think? Do all the names need to be boring, like Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005? Does the name of the product need to say what it is exactly? Is there a product naming convention in Microsoft? Scoble may be able to answer these questions.
I keep thinking, would Apple market this as iStanbul? I don’t know, I am just playing folks.
