Years ago, when I interned at Microsoft, they did a company survey to figure out what to name what would become Vista. The top two names were Windows Hooker and Windows Heroin. True story.

&gt; PTP or P2P (Powered To Play)<p>How could that even come up as an option, given the pre-existing usage, peer-to-peer?

Unlike the other link I saw about this, this one links directly to the article containing the list, rather than the reblog.<p>Really internet - are we re-blogging lists at this point? WTF - some people just aren&#x27;t trying anymore.

i actually liked &quot;MEGA&quot;. the acronym was meh, but &quot;Microsoft Mega&quot; has a nice ring to it. probably would have gotten some flack at release (sega mega drive, etc) but overall i think the best out of those listed.
