That's enough to make a guy angry.  Not at Julian or Robin, but at the
bozos at Microsoft who have the unmitigated gall to suggest that ANY use of
the word "windows" could possibly have any impact on their galactic empire.

Did you hear about the teenager named Mike Rowe, who decided to call his
little company "Mike Rowe Soft"?  When he registered his domain, the
Redmond lawyers came a-knocking, demanding money.  Fortunately, the bad
press caused them to change their mind in this case.

Andersen Windows had better fire up their legal team.
