Why does it still feel like a Monday?

I know I've seen discussions on the subject of "the" before, and it
looks like we're about to have a go-round with marketing about the
correct terminology for our products.

In the past, speaking about our Widget XYZ (a combined software/hardware
solution-type thing) I've leaned towards calling it "Widget XYZ". It's
our product, trademark and all, and darn it I like the Microsoft Manual
of Style. Marketing, it appears, calls it "the Widget XYZ". There is
no style guide or tablets from the mountain top to clear up this issue.


I know we have to just pick one and stick with it, but is one more
correct? Is one more trendy?
