I don't know. I use the term "Woe32" when I talk about the platform which is
not a win. But in code? Some people might be really disgusted when they have
to read code with pejorative terms:
  #ifdef WOE32_NATIVE
  #ifdef UNIX_SLOWLARIS
  #ifdef UNIX_DELIRIX
Many people believe code should be neutral.
