>The dumb part is that they insist on including "Windows" in the name. What other subsytems would you have in Windows than Windows subsystems? The Windows part is implied. Otherwise it would not be a _sub_system, right? The only reason it is there is because some marketing idiot wanted more branding.

It's not dumb to them. Microsoft is not a tech company.

Microsoft is a marketing/sales company that happens to market and sell the software, services and hardware that the company makes.
