Give Microsoft's regards to codename 'Broadway'

I know it's risky posting anything -- and especially something like a new Microsoft codename (or several) on April Fools' Day, but it's that time.

The March edition of my free Microsoft Codetracker is done and ready for download. This month's update includes "Broadway," the Microsoft codename for the Microsoft-Nokia partnership, according to my tipsters. Yes, even partnerships have their own Redmondian codenames now.

The Codename Tracker PDF is the same chart I use myself to keep up with the codenames of products and technologies coming from Microsoft.

If you’ve already registered on ZDNet, you can just grab the latest version. If you haven’t, registration info will be requested before you download it. Whether you’re a Microsoft customer, partner, analyst, competitor (or even employee), you might find the Tracker useful.

If there’s a Microsoft codename missing from my chart that you’d like me to check out and ultimately add, please don’t hesitate to contact me via e-mail. I’m working on fleshing out several new reader suggestions and hope to be adding them to the next update of the tracker. Just so you know: All e-mails I receive are treated as confidential — unless you want a mention/credit line, of course.
