    If I say “the life support system for the USS Enterprise”,

    Unfortunately contact mean that example dose work both ways.

    If we say enterprise system for life support. People will also understand.

    But voyager system for enterprise could apply either way. To be fitted to enterprise or allow enterprise activity on voyager. Or voyager activity on enterprise. For is just bad language in this context.

    Here Microsoft should’ve used a possessive. Voyagers enterprise support system would be more normal.

    Or Windows Linux support system.

    But marketing and a history of no other OS matters means Mickey$oft insists on it’s own layout. Over language clarity.
