Misleading title... Definitely read this as a version of GitHub software that works on Windows 2.0 (as in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_2.0 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_2.0).
- Void_ 12y agoForgot to add the story about playing with windows 2.0 when you were a kid.
- manojlds 12y agoWhat do you call version 2.0 of Github for Windows?
- recursive 12y agoGithub 2.0 for Windows
- palakchokshi 12y agoNope... that reads as version 2 of Github available on windows, which this is clearly not. Github for Windows is the name of the product so its version 2.0 should be called Github for Windows 2.0
- dragonwriter 12y agoI think the more fundamental issue is that, to avoid creating ambiguity, software product names should not include, as their terminal component, the name of another software product. Not that there is much significant risk of more than momentary confusion with Github for Windows 2.0 (but if it was Github for Windows 8.1, for instance, that would be a problem.)
- BorisMelnik 12y agowow really interesting conundrum, because immediately my eyes read "Windows 2.0" but you are totally right if the version number went after Github it would imply a Github version update was happening.
