Brian Harry

Mary Jo Foley is writing about one Microsoft code name per day on her blog.  I think it's pretty cool and there's a few code names I've never even heard of before.  She has written about a couple of Developer Division code names so I thought I'd add my own colorful commentary. She gives a little history on the VS code name ...
