Marshalus Veteran Posted July 13, 2004 Veteran Share Posted July 13, 2004 Neo = new Win = windows Neowin was created during the Windows XP beta stages, back before it was even XP, when it was Codename Whistler. Hence, the "new windows." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hidea Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Neo Pets... :p, like what Dex said... OH NOES!! NEOBOND HAS A THING FOR NEOPET! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.K.R. Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 No no no no no! *strikes out everything on this thread* It was because "Neobond" (I think so :huh: ) was thinking up of a name for a new web site, and he was talking to somebody about his. It happened that the somebody was watching The Matrix at that time, and so the name Neowin popped up (Neo was name of the main character in The Matrix, for those of you who doesn't know about it).

Steven Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 .net 1. Neowin is not a company nor a commercial domain. 2. It's too expensive to get the .com domain.I think i heard it was like a few million dollars. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a FYI: That chatlog I posted in the other thread about the origin of the name was fake. [2000/09/24 17:31] Stevieboy: but i still need a name for the site[2000/09/24 17:31] Stevieboy: it should be something with windows or win in the name [2000/09/24 17:32] Tom Servo: heh, how about winbetas? [2000/09/24 17:32] Stevieboy: nah, that sounds just stupid [2000/09/24 17:33] Tom Servo: how about neowin? since i'm watching the matrix atm [2000/09/24 17:33] Stevieboy: that sounds actually cool! :whistle: I've quite an imagination, haven't I...
