And it will run on Windows 7 or whatever new comes along. I'd recommend removing all of the version info and just using something like this: "GNU Emacs for MS Windows" Note the addition of "MS" (or perhaps "Microsoft"), to avoid confusion with other meanings of "windows". Or perhaps just "GNU Emacs" would be best. It's obviously running on Windows, and Emacs on Windows is not a different product from Emacs generally. In particular, the "for" in "GNU Emacs for Windows" makes it sound like this is some separate product designed specially _for_ (if not by) Microsoft, even without the "MS" - kinda like "Michelin tires for Costco". And that's far from being the case - this Emacs was not made for Microsoft (or for MS Windows); it just runs (also) on MS Windows. I don't see any other applications putting "for Windows" in their tooltips. GNU should be the last to do that.

We don't want to play MS's game of repeating "MS" or "Microsoft" next to every name. Stefan ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
