And yet, imagine that Microsoft were to add some program, library or
product called "Windows Win", and that we had to refer to it in the
documentation. What would we call it? "Windows Lose"? Really? And
would that really help the users in any way, or just confuse them?
I won't deny the power of words. But sometimes, a name is just a name.
The crusade against "win32" is a bit silly IMHO; it's hard to believe
that anyone, outside of a few old timers, reads it as "a form of
praise".
