- Not to sound like the net.police, but could we get some agreement about
- what abbreviations to use when we are talking about the Microsoft products
- Word for Windows, and Windows for Workgroups? I've already seen numerous
- postings using the abbreviations "WFW" and W4W" when referring to the
- Windows for Workgroups product. The abbreviations are obvious, but the
- conflict with the older abbreviations for WinWord are confusing.
-
- Given that WinWord has squatter's rights on both WFW and W4W, how about
- using "WGfW" or "WG4W" when you mean "Workgroups for Windows"?
