    True, but that project has been called 'Wine' for so long, I doubt they are willing to change the name. :-\ Soren Madsen

    That's true. Mickeysoft Whine would fit much better. They are already changing everything, so this would not be more trouble.

          Win 8 is not funny at all. A better name would have been Windows FP (for Fisher Price), codenamed 'Disneyland', made by Mickeysoft.

          I hear that since I've been calling it "baby-blocks", those words have been banned in certain buildings. The CP lounge does appear to carry some... er, what's a synonym of "weight", in this context?

            I heard a similar argument when XP came out, that it looked like a toy. I would say 8 is more like Windows 2[^], flat, boring, single-tasking. Thanks Microsoft for taking a great OS like Windows 7 (Weven) and turning it into what Windows ME was to Windows 98. They are turning all computers into tablets, which is useless in a productivity environment, works great if all you use a computer for is Movies and Web, but doesn't work for me.

              Wow, you're well behind the times. We've known Windows 7 as Weven for years now. I believe it was JSOP who christened Windows 8 as Wait. Obviously, we have Wine and When coming up soon.

              Or possibly Whine. ;)

              The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

                Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt
