Bonjour != worst product name
No, the world's worst name is a toss up between either "OS/2 For Windows" (which absolutely did not require Windows and was a fully qualified PC operating system all its own) or "OS/2 Warp" which only served to make people think how uncool it would be to use an OS that sounded like something out of Star Trek. Both names helped to ensure the dominance of Windows on the PC. On a side note, IBM did develop OS/2 for PowerPC but never finished it. *sigh* I could have been using my favorite PC operating system on a Mac years ago.
