... and just exactly where does one find a precise reference to this
convention? I adopted my own style for making specific references to a
technology or brand name easier to find since someone has seen fit to make
this list's content available to anyone who happens to search on any term
occurring in the post. The consequence is that they then have to pick through
the post to see if the reference to what they think they've found is really
what they want.

BTW, grammar doesn't have an 'e' in it.

I don't think we disagree on this business regarding the popularity of
Windows. It's just the cheapest and easiest OS to get into if you know what
the average user knows.
