GB1 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 In the computer summary area at the top of CCleaner, it lists Windows operating systems as "MS Windows Vista..." or "MS Windows 7..." and so on. "MS" should really be spelled out as "Microsoft". The acronym "MS" is not a registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation nor will you see it in any of their product's user interface. As common an acronym as "MS" may be to the tech crowd, it isn't as well-known in the broader consumer audience. Plus, there may be legal issues with calling it "MS".

Moderators Andavari Posted January 31, 2010 Moderators Share Posted January 31, 2010 It is a "nitpick." I think the major reason for it is so things fit into the left window pane without having to re-size it, although it is re-sizable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies for my frivolity above I agree with you about the summary area - there's plenty of room so there's no reason why it shouldn't be written in full. As Andavari says, it would create space issues in the application listings though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishi Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I noticed that as well and I don't think they actually write MS in many of the previous versions of CCleaner. I think there is plenty of space on the row where that text is fitted so I guess its better that they just make it Microsoft Corporation, instead. I love computer maintenance tasks. Some of my favorite programs: Wordpad -basic word processing Notepad - temporary clipboard and basic scripting module Windows Media Player 12- video, music and online radio player Windows Media Center - live TV, local FM radio CCleaner- handy computer maintenance tool If something fails to work after using the registry cleaner, use SYSTEM RESTORE.
