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. :)

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

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

How about 'Rectangle', I know Apple patented 'Rectangle' too, so it's sensitive as well, but might a good name!

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 :)
