Anyone else bothered by the fact that the “win” in “.Win” stands for Windows. The whole domain extension is for Windows/Bill Gates.

“win” in “.Win” stands for Windows.

how do you know that? May be it stands for X Window System - standard GUI system for UNIX (and eventually Linux) systems, developed long before MS Windows?

Really that have nothing with GUI. https://icannwiki.org/.win

Some company registered a heap of first level domains in attempt to make a profit from selling subdomains. .win is just one of few dozens and mean something connected with games.

Be curious, check everything, dig deeper. Making big fat fortune guesses have nothing common with conspiracy.

Thanks for the reply. Your information appears to be correct. My comment was not. It wasn’t a bad guess, I misread my source. The .Win is just meant to be marketed for gamers apparently. “.Win” is not for windows and they already have their own at “.Windows.”
