While we're on the topic of terminology, commentary shouldn't call that
operating system "Windows", a name that is too easily confused with the X Window
System and with other windowing systems. This is why the US Patent and Trademark
Office rejected Microsoft's attempt to trademark "Windows".
In GNU Emacs commit messages, we often call the it "MS-Windows", which is short
enough and is clearer than "Windows".
