If it were up to me, right now I'm liking the name /proc/nt/.

Me too. Yay, bikeshedding. :)

Other than its brevity, I don't see an advantage of "nt" over "windows" or something more obvious/descriptive that we're dealing with Windows-specific stuff here. But perhaps I'm the only one who thinks the "NT" nomenclature for the Windows architecture is fading fast.
