#13Windows Threshold OSX Yosemite Linux "Hurr durr I'ma sheep" ----- In some ways it's comforting that such an intergral part of all of our lives doesn't have to be branded and packaged in a way that's stylistic. It's nice knowing that this truly is a community project, and that it's an effort of people - not some megacorp who needs to market it to the highest amount of people possible. Great work everyone who worked on…
>Windows Threshold
That was just a codename. Vista and XP (and ME?) are actual examples.

#14I don't understand the joke in calling it that.
It just seems petty.
Is there something I'm missing?

Well, the bulk of it de facto comes from corporate contributors: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/news-media/infographics/who-w... (the Linux Foundation itself being a corporate consortium).
Not that such a thing isn't practically inevitable for a project the scale of the Linux kernel.

Even the dedicated release website is a refreshing send-up: https://imasheep.hurrdurr.org/

To be fair, you're comparing apples (ha!) and oranges…
“Windows Threshold/XP/9/10”, “OS X Yosemite” are comparable to “Ubuntu“, not Linux.
NT & -Darwin- [Edit: You're right LukeShu, XNU] are the Linux equivalents, they're the names of the kernels and not supposed to be consumer friendly.
