I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned it publicly. Going all the way back into the 90s I used to call Windows “Pseudo OS”. I don’t remember when I first started calling it “Pseudo OS”, but I’m pretty sure it was sometime between the releases of windows 95 and 98.

Continuing in this theme, for about 25 years now, I’ve had a nickname for Windows XP which I’ve always been quite proud of – it’s always made me chuckle:

“Windows XP” → “Pseudo OS, Previously Urine”

My WinXP Virtual Machine (which I now haven’t used in a long time) still has this name all these years later, hehe.
