"microG"?
The Greek letter Mu is the SI prefix for "micro".
μTorrent seems to do fine with the Mu, even though most people write it as "uTorrent" and spell it as such.
- Nexxxeh 12y agoIts a ballache though, especially in 8.1 (u1) with classic start. Press the first letter and get a list of programs that start with that letter? U doesn't bring it up. Because it doesn't start with a U.
- mootothemax 12y agoμTorrent seems to do fine with the Mu, even though most people write it as "uTorrent" and spell it as such. You've said it yourself there; μTorrent was rebranded by the majority of users to uTorrent, and "uTorrent" is a distinct, mostly spelt-how-it-sounds and easily-Googleable name. I doubt that an involuntary rebranding of μg to "ug" would be quite as successful, nor likely to happen.
- Curmudgel 12y agoThe funny thing is that in Modern Greek the letter μ is pronounced "me", so the name of the software could be pronounced "meTorrent". Spelling it with a u makes the name of the software sound like "youTorrent".
