The ultimate "F" "U" to consumers.
Isn't that what Google Chrome Linux already is?

Sorry, it looks like the government in Pyongyang is using Linux, not Windows.

Considering that Windoze 8 will be codenamed "Midori", what if the one after it is codenamed "Internet Explorer" just to confuse the public?

Yes but it's windows so they thought of it first. Additionally, windows steals everything and claims it their own. Word, Quicken Clone, Tabs, Vector Graphics, C++ to C#, every windows product in existence, etc... So why not the web os? They would write their own web applications, but nothing would be original.

lumak, you forgot the most basic element "Windows" in your list. Windows is a ripoff of the Macintosh GUI which was a ripoff of Xerox PARC's original GUI.

And the codename I'm pretty sure is 100% probable is:

Windows is something I won't buy!

Cheers,

Forrest

I hear that!

I would say, just to sum it all up, maybe we should stick with a single word for a code name (I'm thinking "Windoze Taboo" [or also maybe "Windoze Forbidden"]).

In that case, "Windows NOWAY" (It's sort of reminiscent of the old Windows OLE (and yes, they pronounced it the same way a bull fighter would))
