Don't you just hate it when people call Microsoft, Windows, and Linux derogatory names? Well, I do. I think it's just useless, because calling them derogatory names won't get them to improve; they'll just sue you or something. Here's a few of the examples of "nicknames" of every company that I've heard over the past year: Windows: Windoze, Doors (don't really get this one), Losedows ("lose", opposite of "win"), Faildows ("fail", pseudo-opposite of "win") Microsoft: Micro$oft ($ meaning money-centered), Microshaft, Microsquish, Macrosuck, Microhard Internet Explorer: (don't even get me started.) Internet Exploder (although this could be a typo), Exposer, Exploiter, Exposure; WHY (a mistransliteration of WIE, Windows Internet Explorer), MISSED (Microsoft's Internet Super-Slow Exploding Device). Okay, so I made the last one up, but who knows? GAIM (GNU AIM): Gay American Instant Messaging Linux: Linsux GNU in general: GNU's not Ubiquitous, GNU's not Undefeated (yeah, I mae these 2 up too, but who knows?) Netscape: Netscrape (meaning that it's "scraping" the bottom of the market share), Net-goat (It's a "scapegoat" of IE) Mac: Fackintosh (Yes, that's a misspelling of a swear word. It rhymes, though.) I couldn't really go rattling off names for centuries, but you get the idea. Why call them bad names in your private life where it doesn't do anything? Show them some primitive respect, even if they do charge $400 for an operating system. EDIT: Fixed a few spelling mistakes.

Well, i've definitly heard most of the windows ones, but I don't personally use them because I don't make fun, but I do have no problem of sharing my opinion about an OS (i.e. windows and how money hungry they are). Anyways, just thought I would clear up that one "doors" for windows name. Windows are a symbol of insperation in some sense because when you see a picture of a window there is usually a pretty scene through it; however, doors don't offer the insperational symbol and in a sense block insperation like microsoft does and stops innovation in the computer industry. Just my two cents.

It'll probably get you a bad rep, though... among, Micro-softies, that is. (Micro-softies is a derogatory name for Microsoft employees and fanatics.)

Well, these names are used bu general users and doesn't really hurt the companies much, but I can't stand it when Apple start there Microsoft bashing EVERYTIME they have a conference or something. I mean when Tiger was announced they actually had huge banners that read "Redmond start your photocopiers", which basically implied that Microsoft would copy the features in Tiger. Even during their speeches high profile folks like Steve Jobs starts bashing Microsoft. What a bunch of whiners.
