  Microsoft names many things stupidly.

    Fuck you forever SQLServer. Transact was perfectly googleable.

      wasn’t it originally idiotically named “SQL/Server”?

    Microsoft Azure Blob

    (Yes it’s a real product they market)

      I mean, blob (and object storage in general) has been used as a term for a long time. It isn’t particularly new, and MS didn’t invent it.

        That’s sort of the problem. It’s easy to Google S3 since it’s a distinct (if obnoxiously short) term. Blob is already an overloaded term.

        An example of a great name from Microsoft is Excel, it’s relatively short but meaningless so if you Google “Excel Sum” you’ll get wonderful results… “Blob Get” is going to get you a lot of random stuff.

    Visual Studio Code

      To prevent confusion, I call them “VS Code” and “Visual Studio IDE”, because if you say Visual Studio, people assume you mean Visual Studio Code.

    And renames a random product every month, following a restructuring it’s licensing

      At least they don’t control the most popular code hosting site along with the most popular code editing software, right? Right?

    “xbox”

  It’s like naming your company x

    Or the rectangular gaming console that you sell “xbox”

  Like naming a new TLD .zip!

  It was pretty smart marketing move. Business people hear ‘dot net’ and nod wisely. Tech people hear ‘dot net’ and scrunch their faces. Either way people keep talking about Microsoft Java.

    And this is why alcoholism is rampant. Please free me from this insanity.

  That aligns with their fucked up naming conventions anyway.
