When I first read about the announcement of the name, I immediate though
someone is going to draw wrong conclusions about the relationship
between Mozilla nad Windows technologies.

Unix, Linux, X11 and Mac OS X all have an 'X'. Microsoft wants to have

XP is also short for extreme programming and experience points. If you
interpret the letters as Greek letters, you get Chi Rho. Microsoft
already has a product called Word.
