Neologism; the article says it's a term used to describe a minimal version of Microsoft Windows, but most references I can find to it seem to be misspellings of Windows, an intentional turning-upside-down of the W to make an M, or a portmanteaus coined by individuals (a Mac with Windows, e.g.). -/- Warren 07:51, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - unless Mindows has been the subject of multiple articles in reliable sources. CyberAnth 08:10, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - this subject has been listed on the offical Microsoft website [1] and relates to the court case against Microsoft where it was proved that windows could run without internet explorer.

  • Comment the term is used on a forums (being hosted on the Microsoft site doesn't make it "special") and is used by a person with 2 posts. I don't think that qualifies as an "endorsement" of the term by Microsoft. mikm_t 06:05, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - non-notable and oxymoronic neologism. MER-C 12:04, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
