Hi, i'm new to the list. I work on the business copy desk at the Houston Chronicle, where we are debating style on computer software, games, CD-Roms etc. We are thinking of italicizing the titles of specific products but not more general products such as DOS, Windows, etc. The debate is where to draw the line with such a style rule. We'd be interested in hearing the thoughts of our colleagues out there.
