Random trivia: Russian localisation of Internet Explorer 4.0 translated "applets" as "little cutesy applications". While I've been looking this up to check that my memory doesn't let me down, I found a blog post from the translator mentioning another fun translation: Windows for Workgroups almost got released in a box saying "Windows for Workers". Heck yeah, we need a Windows for Workers group
