Nation of Fiji has problem with Windows Fiji
Posted 6/25/2008 by Steve Sinchak in Microsoft News

It is always funny when politicians talk technology.  Today is no exception.  Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum from the nation of Fiji expressed his concern about Microsoft's use of the name Windows Fiji.  The Attorney General says his country has been trying to contact Microsoft so they can work out a fair deal to use the name commercially.  Unknowing to the nation of Fiji, Windows Fiji is just an internal codename for the next version of Windows Media Center.  Some yahoo in the Fiji government got worked up over something that is not even a real product name.

Apparently, a writer at the Australian Broadcasting Company is also confused.

For those that are not WinGeeks, Microsoft has a history of using geographic locations for internal code names of products in development.
