"Bora" and "Chinook" are just code names for versions of the tablet operating system. If you're familiar with Mac OS X, then think of these as the equivalent of "Tiger" and "Leopard". So, Bora and Chinook are to OS2007 and OS2008 as Tiger and Leopard are to 10.4 and 10.5.

If you're a Windows person, think of 2000, XP, and Vista instead. They're Microsoft's friendly names for Windows NT 5.0, 5.1, and 6.0 respectively.

Hrm. Perhaps Vista is a bad example. There seem to be a fair number of folks who'd have preferred if Microsoft had stuck the XP "OS platform".
