Please don't use "win" as

an abbreviation for Microsoft Windows in GNU software or documentation. In hacker terminology, calling something a “win” is a form of praise. If you wish to praise Microsoft Windows when speaking on your own, by all means do so, but not in GNU software. Usually we write the name “Windows” in full, but when brevity is very important (as in file names and sometimes symbol names), we abbreviate it to “w”. For instance, the files and functions in Emacs that deal with Windows start with ‘w32’.

Furthermore, the term "Dodgy shite from Redmond" is also appropriate.

In hacker terminology, calling something a “win” is a form of praise.
It's hardly ``Hacker Terminology''
