heard whispers that Windows and Azure are now sharing the same codenaming scheme. This means future releases of Windows 10 will use element codenames. The next Windows 10 update is still going by the name "19H1", but the releases thereafter are reportedly named "Vanadium" and "Vibranium":
The Windows 10 feature release that some of us were expecting to be called 19H2 will actually be called "Vanadium," (V) my contacts say, in keeping with the Azure naming scheme. If the team sticks with the order of the table of elements, the first Windows feature release in 2020 would be called "Chromium" (Cr). Obviously, that could create for more than a bit of confusion, given Google's use of that term. As a result, I'm hearing the team is likely going with a made-up element name for that release, likely "Vibranium." (Vibranium is what Captain America's shield is made out of, as I've been schooled.)
