The most flagrant abuse of this word has to be "Windows NT"

(New Technology) - Microsoft's attempt to make the

incorporation of some ancient concepts into their OS sound

like real progress. The irony, and even the meaning, of this

seems to be utterly lost on Microsoft whose Windows 2000

start-up screen proclaims "Based on NT Technology", (meaning

yet another version of NT, including some Windows 95

features at last).
