What a weird take. Windows in GUIs were a thing years before Microsoft made theirs. It followed white logically from Microsoft DOS. There were several other operating systems called something with DOS at the time, PC-DOS, Novell DOS, and others.
While not a very creative name, it was pretty self explanatory as to its major feature.
Talk about bad names for an operating system, IBM‘s OS/2 is far worse.
Well, it started out as a basic windowing system for DOS, so…
Yeah Microsoft Graphical Boxes makes some sense I suppose. Windows? No, sorry they are not windows.
Why not paintings, canvas, boards, or any other much more logical name. This is some stupid decision by a marketing department.

That is nonsense, I did look it up and it was a last minute marketing decision. Found the guy that likes Winblows!
