ummm.. interesting information.  Now all we gotta do is find a connection between 
Cairo, the greek language and Micro$oft.  It is of course very circumstantial that 
windowsXP which came after macOSX both have a greater thrust on eye-candy interface 
and of course the fact that the latest of X can compete with any of the above in the 
eye-candy aspect.  Three windowing systems with X somewhere in their names - now that 
is something... :-D

BTW what seems to be the motivation for these esoteric "internal codenames" which seem 
to be the norm of the industry..?
