What's in a name?

[Meshack Musundi]

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. :)

What about "Prince-ifying" it? Call it W# Or just be blindingly honest: Windows 8 Your PC

[cruest]

This is Microsoft after all. You just know it's going to end up being something just as simple and evocative as Metro. You know, something like "Typeface-centric Orthagonal Monocolor Tiles Version 8.3". Then to add insult to injury some marketing jackass will then condense it down to "TOM T 8.3" you know, because it rhymes and that's clever!

Did you mean Window Pains? :) /ravi

Don't forget their patents on fonts, typesetting, electricity and I think respiration (odds are you're violating at least one of these right now!).
