That, or they just ran out of cities to use for names.

        Is that like "Win nothing"?  As in what we all get if Micro$oft
takes

        Maybe we are missing the obvious point of "Windows 2000".  It's
        probably just Microsoft making its OS naming convention Y2K
compliant
        so it can continue the cycle of reinventing the OS into the next
        millenium.  As pointed out above, it just doesn't work with 2
digit
        years.
