andrew_f Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 It should be simply "Windows" and be updated like mobile OS's and make revenue through app store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calum Veteran Posted September 10, 2011 Veteran Share Posted September 10, 2011 I think it was Mary Jo Foley, who speculated(because of one her tipster), who said that it would not be revealed at the BUILD. But the final name would be revealed at the CES 2012 event, by Steve Ballmer himself. I was talking about what green_link said in regard to having to drive 88mph to use it. I was joking :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thommcg Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 If Hollywood were naming it they'd probably go with W1nd0w5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excalpius Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 It should be called Windows 8, but the logo should be the word "Windows" with the 8 turned 90 degrees as in the symbol for infinity. Logo design of the two elements solves the rest. I would also change the hourglass/wait/busy icon to a tumbling 8, since it's shaped similarly, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FMH Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 I don't like it much. Sorry. But there is one cool thing about this name that you may not have noticed. WM Their is a symmetrey formed, since 'M' is an inverted 'W'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
