Why microsoft's os name is windows not doors?

Question

Is there instance or suggestion to give name as windows.

Answer 1

The first independent version of Microsoft Windows, version 1.0, released in 1985, lacked a degree of functionality and achieved little popularity. It was originally going to be called Interface Manager, but Rowland Hanson, the head of marketing at Microsoft, convinced the company that the name Windows would be a more appealing name to consumers. Windows 1.0 did not provide a complete operating system, but rather extended MS-DOS and shared the latter's inherent flaws and problems. Moreover, the programs that shipped with the early version comprised "toy" applications with little or limited appeal to business users.

Answer 2

Find a link and right-click it. The second line in the drop-down menu is... yep. "Open in a New Window"

Those boxes programs run in are called windows. Since the OS uses them, they named it after them. Windows.

Answer 3

Because when MS wanted to release its product, a UNIX-based os was standing in the doorway and told them: if you bring this into the house, I'm throwing you out the window. And there you have it: what you should do with every MS product.
