Wow, I didn't even see that.

I answered your mail based on my gut-feeling, while you did the
research. Thanks for clarifying.

Maybe "Windows-Systemkomponenten-Verifizierung" is the best compromise?

Oh, right. In that case, "Intermediär" would be best, wouldn't it?

I still like my second suggestion best. ;) Totally gut-feeling again, though.

Never heard of it, had to look it up. You seem to really know your
stuff. It is still ambiguous, according to the paragraph on Wikipedia
(Eigennamen), but you convinced me. My comment wasn't meant as a request
to change it in the first place, just curiosity. :)

"Standardgateway" is an established term, afaik. (See i.e.
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway_%28Informatik%29 )

Tricky one. "Der Dienst 'Plug and Play Service' startet." is perfectly
fine, imho, but in English it's really bad.

Way better. Anything preventing us from changing it?

My mistake. (There is a 2006 "neue Rechtschreibung"? Wow, I meant the
1996 one... Not that new anymore, is it?)

How do you like Jens' (second) suggestion? Up to you.

Great!


You really took "being thorough" seriously! ;) 
Thanks for your efforts!

Best,
