VisualBasic 1.0 went under the codename Project Thunder until its release for Windows at the Comdex/Windows World trade show in 1991. A version for DOS would follow in 1992. Visual Basic combined the Ruby drag-and-drop interface generator (no relation to the Ruby programming language) designed by Alan Cooper and his company Tripod with the Embedded BASIC engine that Microsoft had designed for an abandoned database system codenamed Omega.
Codenamed Daytona (for Daytona International Speedway in Daytona, Fla.) because the goal was to increase the speed of the operating system, Windows NT 3.5 was released in 1994. It was the second release of the Windows NT operating system and the first version to adopt the names Windows NT Workstation and Windows NT Server for its editions. The 3.5 release included integrated Winsock and TCP/IP support, updating the incomplete implementation of TCP/IP in Windows NT 3.1.
Codenamed for the Whistler-Blackcomb ski resort in British Columbia, Windows XP was released in 2001. It marked the first time Microsoft offered a consumer-oriented operating system built on the Windows NT kernel. While its NT foundation provided enhanced stability and efficiency over previous consumer-oriented versions of Windows, Microsoft also sought to make the OS more visually appealing with a completely redesigned task-based GUI. Windows XP was also the first Windows OS to include product activation in an effort to combat piracy.
Windows Vista may have been a flop, but Microsoft turned things around in 2009 with Windows 7, the current release of the operating system. It is the fastest-selling operating system in Microsoft history. It took its codename from the Austrian city of Vienna, which in 2007 and 2008 was ranked first globally for its culture of innovation in the Innovation Cities Index. It focused on multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows shell and taskbar and performance improvements.

That experience I had with the Disney OS installed on my friend's computer recently was terrible! I mean, the distorted figures, the anomalous videos, the corrupted files, the brightening screen, and the enigma of the operating system trying to consume me whole was terrifying. I have been getting nightmares recently over what just happened while using the first version of the Disney OS.
Back in the year 2000, Microsoft released an operating system called "Windows Saturn". Before it was released, it was called "Windows Codename Saturn". The operating system was said to have been named after the planet Saturn, the sixth planet from the Sun. Ironically though, Saturn is also my favorite one of the solar system's planets.
Shortly after the release date happened, reports of strange occurrences began to surface. Users claimed to have experienced unexplained crashes, sudden freezes, and glitches that defied conventional troubleshooting. Not to mention users were also reporting strange whispers coming from the speakers and disturbing imagery showing up on the screen. It seemed as if the operating system itself had a mind of its very own. Like its predecessor, Codename Jupiter, it has possessed powers beyond human imagination, though with weaker capabilities as compared to those of Codename Jupiter.
As the unexplained glitches continued, Microsoft was forced to recall Windows Saturn, and the company never spoke of it again. But some say that the Saturn code lives on, hidden deep within the darkest corners of the internet. And if you're not careful, it may just find its way onto your computer, bringing with it a world of terror and darkness that you may never escape.
Fast forward to today, I decided to install the operating system on my computer, and whatever I did, I was greeted with a boot screen that showed the planet Saturn with the Windows logo next to it. Like its predecessor, Codename Jupiter, I was greeted with the Windows 2000 startup sound playing in the background.
Files would randomly disappear and then reappear in the most unexpected places, the screens would often flicker, strange whispers were heard coming from the speakers, and cryptic error messages often displayed. Sometimes disturbing imagery would also show on the background every time I'm not looking at the screen.
As I was seeing these strange glitches unfold within the system itself, my thoughts were shifting towards those times when I had been testing out operating systems like Windows Codename Ceres or Jupiter. The glitches also reminded me of that time when my friend was installing the Disney operating system on his computer and I had to come to check but the glitches intensified to the point where the Disney OS's enigma tried to consume my mind, only to fail because I had installed patches to it.
Well this time, I tried to uninstall the system, but it kept sending out cryptic error messages telling me to stop, until then, I managed to successfully uninstall the operating system without crashing my computer screen or ruining it, just with a sigh of relief.
To this day, the nightmare of the Windows Codename Saturn continues to haunt some people to this day, even people to dared to install it on their computers would never feel comfortable to install it again, even the memory they had would appear in their very own nightmares soon.
Note: The creepypasta takes place in the aftermath of another story called "Windows Disney OS - Extended Version" it is suggested you read that first, otherwise you may be confused at what was happening in this story when reading the very beginning of it.
A couple of my contacts have confirmed that Microsoft Executive Vice President Terry Myerson recently mentioned the Threshold codename in an internal email about plans for his unified operating-system engineering group.
If all goes according to early plans, Threshold will include updates to all three OS platforms (Xbox One, Windows and Windows Phone) that will advance them in a way to share even more common elements.
(The codename Threshold, for those wondering, derives from the planet around which the first halo ring orbited in the original Halo game launched back in 2001. Threshold joins "Cortana," Microsoft's answer to Siri, as yet another codename with its origins in the Xbox franchise.)
From what I've heard, Threshold doesn't refer to a single Windows OS -- not even the expected, converged hybrid comprised of the Windows Phone OS and Windows RT. Instead, the codename refers to the wave of operating systems across Windows-based phones, devices and gaming consoles.
The Xbox One OS, Windows 8.x OS and Windows Phone 8 OS already share a common Windows NT core. As we've heard before, Microsoft is working to deliver a single app store across its myriad Windows platforms. Company officials also are laboring to make the developer toolset for all three of these platforms more similar.
But Threshold will add another level of commonality across Microsoft's various Windows-based platforms, sources said. With the Threshold wave, Microsoft plans to support the same core set of "high value activities" across platforms. These high-value activities include expression/documents (Office, and the coming "Remix" digital storytelling app, I'd think); decision making/task completion (Bing, I'd assume); IT management (Intune and Workplace Join, perhaps?) and "serious fun."
CEO Steve Ballmer mentioned this concept of high-value activities at back in July when he announced Microsoft's cross-company reorg to make the company more focused around its new "One Microsoft" mission.
In the course of my work, I stumbled upon a computer containing the elusive "Windows Zoog" operating system. It was a time capsule of technological history rather than a relic of the past, and curiosity led me to investigate. I decided to embark on a mission to address the very issues that had once plagued this enigmatic software.
As I powered up the vintage machine, I was greeted by a startup screen reminiscent of Windows 95, emblazoned with the distinctive text, "Microsoft Windows Codename Zoog." The Windows 9x flag, now in a violet tint, and even the startup sound evoked nostalgia, as it emanated from the speakers.
Curiosity led me to fire up Internet Explorer to explore the digital landscapes of "Windows Zoog." Amid the browser's bookmarks, one link stood out: "
freecartoons.com." Intrigued, I clicked on it, expecting to find a repository of classic animated shows from the 20s and the 2000s.
The woman, her eyes wide with trepidation, stirred to consciousness. She surveyed her unfamiliar surroundings, her voice trembling with uncertainty. "Where am I?" she uttered, her words echoing with a blend of anxiety and perplexity.After glancing anxiously around her unfamiliar surroundings for a mere five seconds, the woman's attention was abruptly drawn to the distant sound of approaching footsteps. A sense of impending dread hung in the air.
Suddenly, Garfield, the iconic orange tabby cat who had unexpectedly appeared in the enigmatic Windows 2001 software with its unknown Garfield website, materialized before her. However, this was no ordinary Garfield. His distinctive black silhouette with white eyes was gone, replaced by a more typical appearance. Yet, the unnerving absence of pupils in his eyes rendered him far from ordinary.Garfield's unbroken gaze bore down on the bound woman with a disquieting intensity, his featureless, pupil-less eyes betraying no emotion or intent. The tension in the room was palpable, an eerie silence weighing heavily upon the captive woman.
