The name was voted by the community. There were a lot of very good names that unfortunately were already being used by other projects. I'm not a fan of the final choice either.

Agreed. Any list without Bowie is just objectively wrong. It's like cheating, with 7 artists that only count as one.

It's slow and consumes a lot of resources. The UX is pretty bad, but not worse than other Microsoft products.

Only ever interacted with 6.0 beta. It was a great microkernel system. Even its GUI, Photon, was of a microkernel design, each module operating as a separate process. And it looked so good.

Technically yes. But it can't support many hard real-time use cases. For that you need a true RTOS, thought from the ground up for that purpose. Something like VxWorks, QNX, some flavors of L4.

Dude, it's a simple mistake. If you can't own even that, how are you going to own your bigger mistakes?
