Mac team engineering manager Rod Holt wanted to change the name of the project after Jef Raskin’s departure. Some genius did indeed reverse-engineer an acronym for “Macintosh”: “Most Applications Crash, If Not, The Operating System Hangs”. Likewise, we all know that Windows really stands for “Will Install Needless Data Over Whole System”, and that Vista stands for “Viruses, Infections, Spyware, Trojans and Adware”. Vista supposedly means ‘chicken’ in Latvian, so… long live Windows Chicken!
