> I think Microsoft delegated all marketing decisions to AI. Not even joking.

I actually think AI would have done a better job of this. And Microsoft being atrocious at branding predates AI mass adoption by about 2 decades, arguably more.



Microsoft used to just name a lot of things for what they did... to a point where it was almost confusing by itself. "Microsoft SQL Server" being a prominent example.

Though, the everything .Net around 2000 was nearly as bad as this CoPilot rename.


.net, dynamics, power, 365, azure, fabric, copilot.

There's always some pointless name change going on.


COM, OLE, ActiveX
