my theory on the XP name
yeah, yeah, what ever ... OS X and XP sound too familar to be just a coincidence.

I figured that it might actually be an Easter Egg! (special bits of code that coders slap in for a laugh)

I have it as such:
Code:
: - ) and : - P
have something to do with the name. So let's do some math:

Code:
(OS X + : - P) - (: + - + OS) = XP

Now the real million dollar question is which way the razz (Tongue) pointing!

I figure that copywriter was aiming it at M$ since they can't really find original names.
openoffice + gimp + sketch ... Smile
