It should be simply "Windows" and be updated like mobile OS's and make revenue through app store.

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 :)

[thommcg]

If Hollywood were naming it they'd probably go with W1nd0w5

Got it (Y)

But still, a lot of people believe we will know about it on BUILD, may not happen.

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.

WOW....you actually put some serious thought into it....I love the name!! :yes:

I dislike it since it reminds me of a earlier build instead "milestone"

[FMH]

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:

So that's why I didn't liked it! It was dirty tech.

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:

They should just call it Windows for Dummies because that's what the new UI looks like.

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

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.

Tom: "What's up? "

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

Tom: "I'm sure Android may have given you enough to stamina to patiently w8 for MS to fix Windows."

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

The possibilities are infinite, etc.
