WTF?
Where do these people get their names?

Weird names
I used to have a guy called Bacon (he was from Zimbabwe) work for me. So Window ain't unique in being weird.
There are quite some

I hope there won't be any snyde comments

They do stories on much much less :D
Just thank god its not a slow news day.
RE: Is this a a story just because of her name?
Erm, no. It's a story because she's worked for MS and Mozilla before this, and because she's supposed to be good at her job -- oh, and she's relatively famous as IT people go.
Perhaps the "Conception" Theory of Naming?
Meet Window's siblings: Backseat, Couch, and Stairwell.
