          Thanks Wikipedia, no way I could have remembered them all. Although I feel like Lync 2010 might be Lync for Business 2010?

            If you think that’s bad, try following the current name of an enterprise Office subscription you bought fifteen years ago. I think Microsoft intentionally renames those every two years just to make sure every permutation of [Office, 365, Professional, Microsoft, Business] is used at least once to describe the same product.

            I don’t think Lync was ever sold as “for business”, the “for business” part came when Microsoft renamed it to “Skype for business”.
