Interesting naming. "Microsoft Hell God".

Pluto (Greek: Πλούτων Plouton, "giver of wealth", Pluton in French and German) the most common name for the classical ruler of the underworld. Plouton was one of several euphemistic names for Hades, described in the Iliad as the god most hateful to mortals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluto_(mythology)

Pluton is also a geological term, referring to magma domes that have solidified and since eroded to yield granite structures like Half Dome.
