This made me curious and I started doing research on other problematic name collisions. Did you know that Valve’s game distribution service has a name that’s already widely used in the scientific community for the gaseous form of heated water? It looks like steam has been around for several centuries at least so Valve really ought to have known better.

Anyway, if you’re interested, I’m putting together a long investigation on whether Microsoft’s flagship operating system is in collision with a very common term used in the construction and glass industry. Hope to have it done soon
