    I just saw this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyCp-b2QPqA
    and I want to know what Microsoft Chicago and Microsoft Neptune were. I never heard of either of them. I don't know if this belongs here or in the Lounge.

    Chicago was Win95 code.
    There is an 98 Easter Egg where you clicked on Cairo, Memphis and Chicago on a map and I think the hidden credits would popout.

    Neptune was supposed to be a consumer version of Windows 2000. It never made it, obviously.

    Yeah. I wiki-ed it. You can look at some screenshots on Wiki. It's a primative Welcome Screen. Kinda weird...

    Yeah, I worked about an hour on that before giving up. I guess geography isn't my strong suite.
