It's good to see the old ways still being followed. We were calling them Microslop back when Windows ME released.

    I.. don't think that's true. Google trends also confirms this is a new name invented now because of the word slop trending, but I welcome being proven wrong.

    I remember we had lots of variations like Micro$oft, Microshaft, Microhard, Microshit, Microsloth, etc.

    Concur, 'slop' as a common word is pretty new.

    We had the names for all the potentially frustating platforms, deserved or not. I recall:

    • AIX (just pronounce as 'aches')
    • PHUX
    • Slowlaris
