Windows 8 May NOT be called Windows 8: Foley Reports


Recommended Posts

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 :)

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.

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'.

It was a joke. M8 was for Mate and every phrase was a sexual reference :laugh:

Futurama already did that with the episode Proposition ?.

Besides, how could Microsoft ever follow up a version called Windows Infinity? Windows Infinity Plus 1? :laugh:

Can you imagine? "When will Microsoft fix the ..... Still W8ing for it."

Get radical. Call it

Boxes

How about Doors. The theme song can be "W8ing for the Sun".

That was a pop-up in one of my XXX web surfing the other day.

Haha, you still CALL it 8, but you play on the infinity logo for marketing reasons, etc.

The possibilities are infinite, etc.
