[ossrp-control] Re: Possible code names for the screen reader

Will can check on this through his Microsoft contacts, but I doubt that
the company would object to "Bullhorn."  Based on practices in the
software field, I think it is sufficiently different as a name.  I would
guess that MS would take it in the positive spirit in which it is
intended, a code name for a project that would offer the benefits of its
next operating system to more users with disabilities--not competing
with anything it sells.

A name might be cool, but, I'm wondering if old uncle Microsoft might 
not take too much of a liking of us playing around with their 'horn', 
get it?  Not trying to be corny, just don't want to get tied up with 
messing with the horny.

At any rate, screen reader doesn't have to be a name as such, but it 
certainly is a description of what it is.
For instance, say we call it BullHorn.  Someone will ask, Oh, what's 
that?  We will have to say after all, it's a Screen Reader for LongHorn!
