Linux Becomes Female 4589

Outlook somehow connotes email or Usenet usage? No, but they figured out what it did right? Sounds like a weather watching program to me. Quark Express somehow insinuates Page layout? No but it is industry standard. MAYA?!?! Come on Roy, what is really in a name?
So now its the pictures on the website and not the name? If you pick an OS based on pretty pictures and trust them accordingly, you've got bigger problems than the name of an application or OS distribution.
They should trust it based on a friends recommendation and ignore the trivialities you continue to point out which are of no consequences to someone looking to get a job done. I don't care if its called a hammer or a sofa as long as it bangs the nail in the wall. If I ask a builder what tool to buy, should I care about the name of the tool if the information came from a trusted source. Word of mouth is infinitely more powerful than the name of the product.
Roy Schestowitz I can understand what you're trying to do here. But trying to homogenize GNU-Linux and OSS product names to something more sanitized is not the answer...
Its not necessary.
Then your friends don't trust your opinion, it has nothing to do with the website, the pictures or the name of the product.
