At MWC 2025, Google discussed its plans for Android 16, which will launch earlier than usual, specifically in Q2, allowing users to expect the update by June. The company aims to streamline Android updates and enhance support from OEMs, with a focus on longer software support. The Pixel series promises seven years of OS upgrades and security patches, and a collaboration with Qualcomm could extend this support to eight years for devices using Snapdragon 8 Elite and future 8-series and 7-series chips. Google is committed to improving the quality of updates, ensuring they enhance device performance.

Windows 95 was internally codenamed "Chicago" during its development, while externally it was referred to as Windows 4.0 and Windows 93. The codename persisted in the implementation process, particularly in driver labeling, because drivers for Windows 95 were tagged with "Chicago" before the official name existed. This naming convention continued to be used even after the introduction of Windows XP, as the distinction between Windows NT and Windows 9x kernels faded. Codenames can lead to confusion and misinterpretation, as illustrated by a former Microsoft staffer's experience with the codename "Turbine" for Windows Server Azure Edition, which was mistakenly linked to an Xbox version.
