What's in a name? (Musing about Windows RT)

So, I was thinking about Windows 8 in the shower this morning. What? No, that’s not weird. I’m sure a lot of people do it. Anyway here’s what I can up with:
Windows 4 NT (New Technology?)
Windows 5 OT
Windows 6 PT
Windows 7 QT
Windows 8 RT (Re-imagined Technology?)
That’s my crazy theory, what’s yours? Why not track me down at PowerShell Saturday this Saturday and tell me? What? You’re not going to be there? Bummer…well, I guess you could leave a comment.

No show tonight!

Sorry everyone, but wet need to cancel tonight’s show due to unforeseen stuff. We promise that we will be rescheduling Dave Kennedy (whom we are really excited to have on again).
We know it will be hard, but do try to enjoy your evening despite this horrible blow to your plans.
Our sincere apologies, and talk to you next week!
