This will be really easy to google for.

And I thought developers were bad at naming.
The Microsoft school of naming things is really showing their ways
Developers are usually not bad at naming. Marketing on the other hand…
Did they just reinvent Norton PC Anywhere?
These guys survive just from the license dependency of corporations
Their only product is that more programs run in windowd and people love the interface even though they keep fixing with it.
Yo dawg, I heard you like Windows, so we put Windows in your Windows so you can use Windows while you use Windows
They’ve come full circle jerk.
The only possible way Microsoft can be this bad at naming things is if they are actively doing it on purpose.
How can they expect regular people to remember what the Windows app does? It would seriously be better to pick a word at random than to overload the meaning of “Windows” again.
Here are some way better names right off the top of my head:
- Kablam!
- Telefenestra
- Portle
- Microsoft micro/do
Telefenestra
Is that where you defenestrate somebody remotely?

Classic Microsoft, muddying the waters of something that was clearly defined in its role and name
Very Aladeen of them!
Upvoted for title.
Is that kind of like how I talk to my team on the team’s app and send files and messages to them in the team in the teams app?
They seriously need a new marketing group.
Teams in Teams is the naming I hate the most. Should have called them communities to match Viva Engage (Yammer) or just groups.
It’s like how they made the Xbox, then the Xbox one, then the Xbox one X, then the Xbox series X. (Yeah there were other options between/simultaneous, but this sequence is a nice clean illustration.)
I mean, it’s internally consistent with the inbetween too, for the first three:
They went Xbox, did a 360 to face the same direction, and re-released the Xbox 1
At least with the 360 you’re sure which one you’re talking about.
Yup. Could’ve been a future where they went from Xbox 360 to Xbox 720 to Xbox 1080 and so on. They probably got scared that some of the audience would have thought that the Xbox 720 would only do 720p, then crapped the bed.
Not to mention the Xbox Box, and the shipping cintainer full of 'em, the Xbox Box Box
In the future, all Windows apps will be part of Windows App.
Will it serve me ads or do I need to find those myself?
