Why the fuck is it still called windows?

This is why you're a NEET.

People already have windows to play games. And for other people an OS is littetaly called windows as a game console is called Nintendo.

because for 20 years Windows was simply a desktop environment on top of DOS (up to windows ME)

by the time windows NT came around the brand recognition was so great that there was no point in rebranding

brand is worth much more than actual product

they would be stupid to dump windows brand

why is it that hard for you to understand?

Good thinking OP. They should also rename Coca-Cola since it's no longer made with cocaine.

Everyone knows what it is. It makes zero sense to change it.

> Windows brand is tarnished at all

Most people don't even understand that their computer runs windows at all. how is that tarnished?

>can't seem to grasp the concept of windowed applications
>thinks perhaps an Apple "Macintosh" would be and is more relevant just because of a name
>stupid fucking people will be the death of us all

Guys why do we call the entire OS "Linux" when that's just the kernel?

>>57235693
Because "Gahnoo" sounds like something a literally autistic child repeats to themselves

They did rebrand Internet Explorer tho.

Same with Pentium, they were way past the fifth version of the x86 chip but kept using it because stupid people only knew Pentium.

Yep, they should've renamed Win10 to Microsoft Tiles.
