What's in a name?

I hoped that they drop Windows too. Something 8 Something describes it better than "Window 8 Something (but we took out teh windows oops)"

Windows Lego? Windows Fisher Price?

Thrown out of the window, so to say.

Windows Tonka? My first Windows? Couldn't have happened to a nicer company - me thinks someone deliberately waited until it was RTM, when the impact would be greatest. :laugh:

Microsoft often has names for projects that are not intended to be the final name. However, Microsoft does not often publicize the name to a great extent. Metro has been publicized heavily. This will confuse people at this time. Bad idea. But sometimes have to do what have to do. I was on a Microsoft project that called “Home and Small Business Server.” That had to be renamed because in Japan nobody wants to be associated with the title “small business.” Still do not know what the new name is.

In that case it should be named Windows Rainbow. :)

How about Mike Rowe Soft? Too late; I see there was a legal incident over that one as well. Knowing MS they'll come up with a name for it that'll cause much mirth in another country where the word has a different meaning. For now, Sucks might be a starter-for-10.

Says that Digital Equipment Corporation ported Windows 1.0 to the Rainbow and a third party upgrade included a modified version of Windows 3.0. :)
