“Windows Infinity” done.

To be followed by "Windows Infinity SP2".

We joke but these are marketing names intended to make a big deal of a large batch of features. With today's continuous delivery (ie. incremental upgrades) this is no longer needed, at least not for technical reasons. But from a marketing perspective, it provides the opportunity to generate buzz in the news with "OMG best version yet"-style announcements.

Then Apple will switch to transfinite cardinal numbers.
