If Windows was named, like Apple, after a food, what would it be called?

No one knows for sure the origin of the name of the Apple Macintosh. It’s guessed that Steve Jobs suggested it to Woz after having worked on a farm. Then Jef Raskin named the project he was in charge of after his favorite apple, the Macintosh. Now we can think of it as an homage to Isaac Newton, as a reference to Steve being a vegetarian, as a tribute to the Beatles…

If Bill Gates had named Windows after a food, what do you think it would be called?

Why Apple’s latest device is named after a feminine hygiene product, we’ll leave for another discussion.
