I can't understand why they didn't pick "Lintel" (as opposed to
"Windows", and coincidentally "Wintel"). "Doors" would be a bit boring,
and Lintel describes what an OS is supposed to do - provide a support
structure that is actually of use to a person. Windows are pretty to
look through, but a door lets you get out into the world :)

Windows 98, n.: 32 bit extensions and graphical shell for a 16 bit hack
on a 8 bit operating system originally written for a 4 bit
microprocessor, by a 2 bit company that can't stand 1 bit of
competition and has not a bit of respect for its customers.
