I just read that on a book.
Just read that.
Quote: The Windows Runtime is the API developers use for building Windows Store apps, sometimes
called WinRT. Don't confuse it with Windows RT, the ARM version of Windows 8. The Windows
Runtime API ensures apps can meet the design goals around portability, performance, and
trust and with it Microsoft can also ensure ...

And we also had JScript and Script# and other nice things...

Great! And we should include J# in the list.

This is a brilliant parallel ! It was indeed a source of confusion in the first ten years.

 So true! Al most every JavaScript book the first introduction paragraphs starts with "Please don't confuse it with Java"

You'd be surprised at how many people think a hamburger has ham.

What is the confusion? Windows RunTime (as the name suggests) is a RunTime API. Windows RT just as Windows NT is an OS version provided by the Microsoft.
What's difficult thing, to get it up your thick brain? -_- No offence!

Over years I've heard 3 version for NT
1. N-10 === N-Ten, the codename for that version
2. Northern Telecom (Today Nortel), it has something to do with some patents that Microsoft used from NT in the low level
3. New Technology

For years, the joke was that NT stood for Nearly There. Oh, and that it was pure coincidence that the team who produced VMS came up with WNT.

The stupid lab assistant in college always said NT is for Networks. As he was running NT for servers & 95 as client machines. I later found it out by myself 
I'm sure Microsoft would be better off with Animal/Bird names name to make it easy for common people to understand.
Like Mountain Lion or Tiger
Or why to copy Apple, they can go Parrot, Crow, ^^

So where did you come to know about this line?
I typed this myself years ago.Ditto. When I heard about LINQ.
What I typed here in the lounge became so popular? 
Or it's a beaten down common thought that almost everybody typed on their own.

Will Robin Williams replace Leslie, now that is a question?

Dunno, I thought he might this morning, but there has only been one actual and one almost repost. The others have been more or less stuff relating to him. Leslie's death was re-reported for several days after it happened IIRC
