I used to believe that we must fight the future, lest change come without our consent. I was wrong. The truth is that we must embrace the future, for only with change can we remain the same.

Instead of windows, you could call it doors... or maybe curtains!

The music industry is a cruel and shallow money trench where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

You're going to write an OS? Not something that runs on top of something else?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat.

Code to the left of him, code to the right of him, code in front of him compil'd and thundered. Programm'd at with shot and $SHELL. Boldly he typed and well. Into the jaws of C. Into the mouth of PERL. Debug'd the 0x258.

"Bay Windows"
oh! or you can go with a fruit!
"Granny Smith Apple"
"Strawberries"
"Bananna"

or you can go with the walmart approach and combine two names.
"Macdows"
"Winintosh"
"Wapple"
