Several months ago, the company announced that it was retiring the “Redstone” codenames for Windows 10, in favor of a new format that reflects the year and part of the year the release belongs. For example, 19H1 for the development of the April 2019 Update, and 19H2 for the November 2019 Update. However, according to the new report, after Windows 10 19H1, instead of using the 19H2 codename, Microsoft will use the element name “Vanadium,” to align the naming scheme with Azure releases. If the company moves forward with the new scheme, after “Windows 10 Vanadium,” the next feature update releasing in 2020 would carry the “Chromium” codename. Unfortunately, the name will conflict with the name Google uses for its Chrome development, but to avoid confusion, Microsoft is considering to use a made-up element name, such as “Vibranium.” (Just like the metal that Marvel’s Captain America uses in his shield.)
