        ...hahaha. Yeah and for us longtime users it's going to be a while before I actually start calling it 'Kodi'. I mean I will on the web and stuff but in everyday talk . . .old habits die hard.

          No it does not. Seems, from what I read, it was just pulled out of the air. Dumb name, I think, then I really don't care what they call it as long as it works.
          FLHT = Harley
          HEMI = 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT
          Cause I've been asked.

            It came from being able to visually spell out the name with media buttons


            But then they scrapped the design but kept the name.

            They had signed an agreement to change the name, due to pressure from an unknown company (not Microsoft).

            They chose the name privately so domains and trademarks wouldn't be squatted.

                I stand corrected.

                Here you can read the offical word.
