Something us Dutchies tend to call Windows is "Windhoos", which is a big gust of wind. I guess it's supposed to imply that Microsoft sells air, or something.
Also, there's Microsoftie, which is crap, since Microsoft isn't exactly a softie.
But on average, most of these silly things aren't worth mentioning.

i love the names they use at the inquirer
sempr0n, open sauce, the vole (microsoft), tweedledee and tweedledum (intel and AMD), daamit (ATi + AMD), chipzilla (intel)... can't think of anymore off the top of my head.

I always thought Microsoft was a commentary on Bill Gates' sex life.
