TH1, RS1, 1511, 14332 — Happy Anniversary?

If you’re having trouble following the lingo, code names, version numbers, and build numbers of the recent Windows releases you’re not alone.  Our test lead recently asked me: “Redstone?  Is that RS1?  Is that Windows V.Next?”

Yeah… who can remember, right?

Because we keep forgetting, we thought you also might benefit from this little table.
