Over the past year and a half, the phrase “Windows Fiji” often hits the pages of a specialized press. The fact is that this is exactly the working title of the program Windows Media Center TV.
Information about this reached the authorities of the island of Fiji and they were extremely concerned about this fact. So worried that they even sent an official letter to Bill Gates. They explained that the government of the island of Fiji has the exclusive right to use the word, and also has the right to ban any irrelevant and offensive use of the word. Combining with the word “Windows” is a clear insult to all the inhabitants of the island.
Microsoft has officially promised the islanders that no Microsoft program will be called Windows Fiji and this name will not fall into any marketing materials. This working title is used exclusively in internal Microsoft communications. ')
Microsoft managers believe that they can use any names in internal communications, and the fact that they get into the press is not a problem for Microsoft.
