    Good move. If we follow the usual odds-and-evens rule, Weight will be a putrid piece of garbage anyway... And Wine will be just right.

    I have often found this to be, in fact, the case. Especially by the case.

          No, I like "Weven"... Because if we follow the pattern, the next version will be either Weight, in which case we can complain about how bloated it is, or Wight, in which case we can just call it a monster. And then, the coup-de-gras (Or however you spell that)... The NEXT version would be Wine!

                We never will for two reasons. First, Microsoft will likely change to a different naming scheme before that. They had years (2000), sort of names (XP, Vista), and now numbers (7). By then they'll be using colors or animals or vegetables or who-cares. Second, the world will have ended long before they get to 11. Of course this is just my opinion.

                    I think 'Whine' would be far more appropriate.

                      OK, if I hear Windows 7 referred to as "Weven" one more time I'm going to honk. I propose we come up with something else that doesn't sound so freakin' dorky. Any ideas? I'll start: Windows 7. Cheers, Drew.

                      I tried before, but it did only encourage them.
