Why Winwaed?
The word Winwaed goes back to a major Anglo-Saxon Battle in 655AD. Although the location of this battle is unknown, Richard Marsden (Winwaed Software Technology LLC's founder) grew up at one of its most likely locations. For further information, there's a website devoted to the Battle of Winwaed.
