It is broader than this :

Windows No More
iWindows
Windows for Android (aka pee in the pants for warmth version)
Windows ! Windows ! Windows !
Doors
Windows Last Cry
Windows for Kinnect
Quit IE6 Now !
Windows Mobile 8 Big Screen Edition

... the list goes on

For you maybe, but not me. I have some doubts about an iPad being a viable platform for post production work!

Have they ever called a Windows version by a common marketing name?

My vote goes for plain old Windows 8. Windows 7 has been incredibly popular and Windows 8 just sounds to me (and I'm sure to mainstream users) like "the next version of Windows 7".

Windows 8 would probably go down nicely in China as well

If Microsoft were to go with a name, I think they would stick with something cloud-ish since Windows 8 will be Microsoft's first desktop "cloud OS". Maybe Windows Stratus?

Hell im even on Ubuntu at the moment .

Yeah... computers are dead... because I do everything with my HP-41c calculator.

Ever since having spaghetti I realize all other food is useless...

Just because you don't need to it doesn't mean it's dead... think before typing

Ubuntu's not a "full" computer system? Since when?
