Yeah, Micros~1 both makes a statement and is accurate at the same time.

FWIW the one I tend to use is MSWormOS, both because it's so accurate, and
as a (rather obscure, admittedly) statement about their claim of trademark
on the term "Windows", particularly when the X Windows System was using
the term way before MS came up with it.

But as my unfree past recedes into history, pretty much everything
proprietary including MS has begun to lose relevance to me, and I don't
care so much any more to make those "immature" references. But I like
yours as it's "MS approved" and thus legitimate in a way the others
aren't, and bears particular legitimacy now that they're making such a big
deal over their LFN/FAT hack patents.

Um, that's 'X Window System', which seems unlikely to be considered the
same trademark as 'Microsoft Windows'.
