Whistler to the uninformed is in Canada near Vancouver British Columbia.
Seattle is in Washington State. A small error but enough to restart the war
of 1812.

They are all places. Different groups get to name their own products.
So, VS.NET 2003 was Everett which is near to Whidbey. VS.NET was
Whistler which is a ski resort near Seattle. Longhorn is... uh... well,
it is a place dear to the project lead. Generally a product family will
have linked names so Cairo, Chicago and Daytona were all operating
systems.
We used to keep the names secret but we have opened up a lot these days.
It could be worse. I know one company that gives its service packs names
like "Cherry blossom on a spring breeze"

I'm curious what explains the nick names Whidbey, Yucon, and Longhorn --
whether fact or folklore!
