View topic - What happened to the Chicago/Cougar builds?

I heard there were some early Cougar builds due for leakage, quite a while ago, but haven't seen hide nor hair of them yet. Have they not been released yet?

Isn't there already betas of centro about, that is what cougar is, isn't it.
Or is it the latest small business server codename.

Centro != Cougar.

Centro: Essential Business Server
Cougar: Small Business Server

Both servers, but each aimed at a different target group.

What is chicago/cougar.
Chicago is the codename for windows 95, how does cougar relate to that.

cougar was the codename of 95 before it was renamed to "chicago"

Is there a complete history, anywhere, of the Chicago project? I bet that'd make an interesting read!

Do you have any literature to back that up.
I just spent 15 minutes searching yahoo and google for codenames, and only found chicago
links relating to win 95.
Strange how there's never been so much as a mention of it before now.
