There is an extremely practical reason for doing so. Windoze ( replace ze with 
ws ) is a registered trademark of M$. Which means that everytime I want to 
use that word, I have to ask M$ for permission and pay royalty, which I don't 
really want to do ( and I guess neither does anyone else ). Hence windoze.
