I keep a list of my favorite (vaguely) CS-related quotes. At some point I stumbled upon this: "I think Microsoft named .NET so it wouldn't show up in a Unix directory listing."

(It was attributed to "Oktal", and I believe it was from the StackOverflow page linked by the article, which no longer exists.)
