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!

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!).

At least thay haven't patented reading, otherwise i should be paying royalties to read The Code Project.

Give them time. I'm sure they have a crack legal team coming up with a means of circumventing prior art as we speak. Hey, maybe that new round headquarters in Cupertino is just a front for apple legal's new time machine. Maybe THAT'S how they've gotten so many of these patents! I'm sure the "rounded rectangle" was legitimately patentable in 3000BC :)

Windows Fisher Price has been taken by Windows XP ages ago.
