  1. Microsoft Windows. slang
    — Like Danny, I made the difficult decision to take a close look at Windross at Xmas96. The OS is a monster it's true; but IMHO it also brings alternative ways of achieving your objectives which are, as I have tried to show, not available in the Acorn environment. Recent threads on Acorn v Windross in schools don't seem to focus on this?
  2. A surname.

词源

词源 1
Blend of Windows + dross, suggesting an inferior product.
词源 2
A Yorkshire surname; unexplained. P. H. Reaney and R. M. Wilson (A Dictionary of British Surnames) suggest that it is from the late placename Windros Laithe (in Flasby, North Yorkshire), but this is unlikely as it appears to take its name from the surname. May be connected with Windridge, a surname probably from Windrush (in Gloucestershire), though George Redmonds (A Dictionary of Yorkshire Surnames) states that he can find no link between these surnames.
