Nice argument, except you're applying it to a non-existent product.
There's no such thing as ``X Windows''.

From man X:

       The X Consortium requests that the following names be used
       when referring to this software:

                                   X
                            X Window System
                              X Version 11
                      X Window System, Version 11
                                  X11

</nitpick>

IAC it'd be nice if you gave some reasoning why this putative ``X
Windows'' is the shit/DOA you claim it to be.
