It doesn't matter what the name references if you label something in the computer world "unbreakable" it is like a big shout out challenging every hacker and script kiddie out there, they better change that name.
I theorize that microsoft is starting to lose the battle because of the "missionaries". People support their OS like a religion, there is the linux religion, the steve jobs religion, the bill gates religion, etc. For a long period of time it was the corporate/organizational level marketing that controlled/steered the OS world. During this time period M$ was able to rule, they captured massive market share using there money marketing as leverage and dominated the market. They were able to help put a pc in every average home and then some. But the end result of that was not what they expected. Sure they crushingly dominate the market but as the computer became less and less "magic" and more and more common place people became educated and learned more of what they want and learned that there are options.
And now corporate level marketing is not the driving force of the market, it is the "missionaries". That is everyone that has a computer and think they have clue are now stuffing their thoughts and opinions down everyone else's throats, and as we all know there are a lot of people that think they have a clue. People swear by their operating systems like religions and force them on others to the point that i am waiting for a linux pusher to come knocking on my door with the book of open source in their hand. So now the battle is being fought more and more at the user level and we all know the open source and linux community of "missionaries" are the most hard core of all. They believe in their views so firmly and with so much passion that they are beginning to CONVERT others. And slowly the tides are turning. It is the true believers that will win the war.
