Z:gnu-www-ja-gnu-linux-faq--989bf6-Almost everyone in developed c/en

Almost everyone in developed countries really does know that the &ldquo;Windows&rdquo; system is made by Microsoft, so shortening &ldquo;Microsoft Windows&rdquo; to &ldquo;Windows&rdquo; does not mislead anyone as to that system's nature and origin. Shortening &ldquo;GNU/Linux&rdquo; to &ldquo;Linux&rdquo; does give the wrong idea of where the system comes from.
