"GW" in the name of the GW-BASIC dialect of BASIC developed by Microsoft may have come form Greg Whitten's initials: "The GW-BASIC name stands for Gee-Whiz BASIC. The GW- name was picked by Bill Gates. He is the one who knows whether it was Gee-Whiz or after me because it has been used both ways. I did set the directions for the BASIC language features after joining the company in 1979. - Greg Whitten, 13 Apr 2005 (en)
