Windows Georgia
Windows Georgia
Why do many people say the codename for me was georgia? It was "Millennium". I didn't see any build labeled "Georgia" so far.

I remember the beta stage of Windows ME (I've even non-officially tested them at that time), but no one called it "Georgia", it was simply "Windows Millennium" (without the "Editon" appendix).
I dunno where this Georgia name come from, it doesn't even fit into the codename-line (the Windows-codenames (except NT5) are sourced from city names, not from countries').

In 1999-2000 I tested a lot of WinMe alfa/betas.
Releases from 2332 to 244x were named “Windows Codename: Millennium”. I can’t remember any Georgia title in BetaGuide, Release Notes or anywhere else.
Name change to Windows Me was started in January 2000 (build 2452).

It's possible that microsoft firstly plan up to use gerogia as the ultimate name, just as "vista", however, when the development towards the release of 2k and many user jump into NT family, what they did were trying to make that product sounds "nicer", and called it Me.... Gerogia maybe the name that they plan to release, but not a codename..

I saw it somewhere and on the server is also named georgia, and a quote of wikipedia
Maybe close this tread now.In 1997, "Millennium" was the codename for a future version of Windows NT that was expected to be released in 2000 or 2001. In 1998, Microsoft stated that there would be no version of Windows 9x after Windows 98.[3] In 1999, however, Microsoft announced a new version of Windows 9x, that was later revealed to be codenamed Millennium. In 2000, this was released as Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me).
