Yes, and please also avoid using the words "soft" and "micro", as these too can
lead to confusion.
Many people think positively of things that are soft or cuddly, and this misuse
can mislead by association. And of course "micro" is associated with
"microcomputer" and "microprocessor", and we do certainly not want to lose all
association of microcomputing to Those On the Dark Side (TODS).
Similarly, please avoid "mac" because of its global and popular association with
big macs, and "OS" because people might think you mean "open source" (shudder).
Just kidding, folks. (I use W32 on my bike chain - much better than WD40.)
Oh, and BTW, AFAIK "win" is _not_ a trademark - at least not a trademark of MS.
This anti-win injunction does not belong on a page purportedly about trademarks,
IMHO.
[@paul: `"Windows API" avoids the problem of the "win" acronym.' This hits 42
on the Seismic Silliness Scale. The "problem" of the "win" acronym? (Not to
mention that it's not an acronym - at least not for "Windows".)]
----
FWIW -
When referring to MS Windows I try to use "MS Windows" in place of just
"Windows" or "windows" - especially when talking about Emacs, which happily uses
windows on every platform. I seldom see others doing that (witness this
thread). People seem to have no problem referring to "Windows" even as they
double over backwards to avoid even whispering "win". MS Windows does not mean
windows, and vice versa.
It is MS that would like everyone to treat the word "Windows" as MS only (yes,
it is an MS trademark). I think it is a bad idea to refer to just "Windows" in
the GNU docs and code when we really mean the more restrictive "MS Windows".
Misusing "windows" that way gives all windows over to TODS - much worse than
giving them a "win" here and there.
Yes, the Emacs docs generally try to use "Microsoft Windows" or "MS Windows" or
"MS-Windows". But even in the Emacs manual's main menu (TOC) you will also find
many mentions of just "Windows" - e.g., "Windows Misc -- Miscellaneous Windows
features"; "Windows HOME -- Where Emacs looks for your `.emacs'"; and "Windows
Files -- File-name conventions on Windows". Similarly, the Concepts index has
entries such as "Alt key invokes menu (Windows): Windows Keyboard";
"runemacs.exe: Windows Startup"; and "simulation of middle mouse button: Windows
Mouse".
IMHO, this is a bad idea, not just for political/philosophical reasons, but also
in terms of usability (e.g. search, index lookup). Users should be able to
easily distinguish searching for "Windows" from searching from "MS Windows"
(especially if they have a search function with the ability to exclude
patterns). I would suggest that _every_ time we mean "MS Windows" we use
exactly that text, never just "Windows". It costs only 3 chars, and it can
forestall a lot of confusion when looking for information.
We already go to the trouble to write "MS-DOS" instead of just "DOS", even
though "dos" is not an ordinary word. A fortiori, we should do the same thing
wrt "Windows". "Windows" is not only an ordinary word; it also has a different
and very important meaning for Emacs. Putting just "Windows" in a node title or
a menu item name is not helpful when it really refers to MS Windows.
Just one IANAL opinion, of course.

These two are wrong: "Win32 API" is the proper name of the API.

Thanks for catching that. The Wikipedia entry
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_API>
says that "Windows API" is a better name for that API,
and "Windows API" avoids the problem of the "win" acronym,
so here's a further patch to do that and to do some other
minor housekeeping such as a Bug#. For convenience I'm
attaching a compressed version of the entire revised patch.

This stance is ridiculous. As Eli mentioned elsewhere in the thread,
"Win32" is the most common name for the Windows desktop API. It's no
more an endorsement than "Scunthorpe" is an obscenity.
Furthermore, though the difference is not particularly relevant for
Emacs, "Win32" is more specific than "Windows API": the latter term
encompasses the Win16 API, Windows CE, and so on. "Win32" is exactly
the right term here. Eschewing it because it contains "win" is petty
and ridiculous. Can I prepare a patch that introduces "Mac OS suX"
into the tree?

Can we make whitespace changes separately? Mixing whitespace cleanups
with (even marginally) more important changes makes commit history messy.

A back-of-the-envelope Google check disagrees. The query
"Windows API" (with quotes) has about 6.63 million hits,
"Win32 API" (with quotes) has about 2.73 million hits.
And even if "Win32 API" were more common, "Windows API" is a common and
arguably more correct name. The Microsoft overview of the API
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa383723.aspx> says,
"Note that this was formerly called the Win32 API. The name
Windows API more accurately reflects its roots in 16-bit Windows
and its support on 64-bit Windows."
> Furthermore, though the difference is not particularly relevant for

If this distinction ever becomes relevant for Emacs, we can
say something like "32-bit Windows API" in Emacs
when it's important to refer to just the 32-bit version.
