probably going to be AmeriCorps.
Also DHCP was used for networking and did not originate from Microsoft:

It seems like Microsoft and VA have a history of using the same name for
different things. Like DHCP.
I wonder if VA ever copyrighted the name VistA? If so, think of the
publicity that could be generated by a copyright infringement case.
For those of you who didn't know it, here's a bit of VistA trivia for
you.
VistA was re-named from DHCP in a contest held within the VA about 10
years
ago.
If memory serves me Cameron submitted the winning name.
My submittal was VAMIS (VA Medical Information System), along with a
slogan,
"We're famous for VAMIS".
Anyway, I still like VAMIS, but I'm afraid I'm an army of one.

Let us hope the VistA spelling catches on better than it did with the NY
Times, as it might help a little!
