... they were discussing names for Windows 8. I just assumed we do the same as for Windows 7. It got the nickname 'Weven'. So Windows 8 should be 'Weight'

Well, with Weven, we wemoved wone wetter... (Sorry, the alliteration was getting to me)... So, keeping with that pattern, Windows Eight becomes... Wight[^]: 1. (archaic) A living creature, especially a human being. -- Does this mean Wight ==> Skynet? 2. (paganism) A being of one of the Nine Worlds of heathen belief, especially a nature spirit, elf or ancestor. -- That gives me a kind of Lovecraft vibe... Is Microsoft going to spawn Cthulu? 3. (poetic) A ghost or other supernatural entity. -- So basically, it's a manifestation of evil that will creep its way into our computers, possess them, and slowly corrupt them from the inside... But I thought we'd already covered that with Vista. Whichever definition you follow, it sounds like bad news... I think we should all wait for Wine.
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

It must have been fun to use a Gatling in those times. After a few hundred rounds you had to take a short break and let the smoke clear up before you could aim again.

"Shut up, Yoda, and just make yourself another toast." - Obi Wan KenobiIn honor of the [forced] change of the interface in Explorer to the newer Ribbon I say we call it ORIGAMI. I even have a few slogan/tag line suggestions. Introducing Windows Origami, the next step in the digital paralyzation. Or this one… Windows Origami, isn’t it time we made the choice for you? And lastly… Windows Origami, have you solved it today

"Shut up, Yoda, and just make yourself another toast." - Obi Wan KenobiWhen Oracle 8 came out behind schedule, it was commonly referred to as Oracle Late (merging the 'l's). MS are wilely enough not to announce release dates too early, but it will probably take longer than expected, so WindowsLate (late rhymes with Eight) sounds good to me; also as it is meant to include tablet devices, WindowSlate would fit as well.
