[G4] clearer identification

[Richard Ramsowr]

Generally these names were first used by the
development teams as code names for the product they
were working on and some just hung around - it's
little like the term "Longhorn" first used by M$ to
reference their long awaited and much over due
replacement software  for Window XP - you know the
want to be OS X - know as Vista and still pending!
Another word for it would be Vaporware!
