Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella penned an AI-heavy blog post to close out 2025, leading to widespread mockery and a brand new moniker for the big M.

The company is now run by Copilot and its in charge of naming products.
The rdp client was renamed “Windows App”, remember? So this is a step up.
Wait, let me say that this is not accurate without defending Microsoft (fuck them). The rdp client hasn’t been renamed, to my knowledge. What was renamed to Windows app was the other product very confusingly named “remote desktop client”, which was a Microsoft Store app meant to access things like Azure Virtual Desktop, their cloud Windows service, etc. Yes, incredibly confusing product naming from Microsoft, as usual.
Haha that is actually even more funny. :)
True! :)
Microsoft can never name products… Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox one, Xbox series x, Xbox series s… Hell I’m currently watching agdq and can’t tell you the best one, imagine a grandmother trying to buy a gift for her grandchild. Atleast it’s Playstation 1, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Playstation 5 obvious which one is newest. Or Windows 3.1, nt, 3.1 with workgroups, 95, 98, 2000, me, xp, 7, vista, 8, 10, 11…wtf?
Totally agree with you, but I would say that the original name made some sense. It used directx and the code name was directx box which became Xbox. Ideally edgy for the market at the time too, I think.
Despite being an avid gamer, I’m not even sure what the release order was after xbone. Being a grandparent or parent and doing it? Fuck that.
Yeah but the equivalent in the xbox series would be naming some of the games xbox too.
Don’t forget the xbox one s and xbox one x, which were after the xbox one (the third xbox, not the first xbox), but before the xbox series s and xbox series x.
At least 2000 is both the largest number, and the best OS, in that group. :)
I tend to like every other one… 3.1, 98, 2000, xp, 7, 10…maybe 12?well see of the pattern continues.
I find Microsoft releases a good os… Gets drunk and comes up with crazy ideas… Refines ideas into usable os… Gets drunk and more crazy ideas… Repeat
It’s so fucking bad.
I’m currently having an issue on my work machine where my Windows App doesn’t close properly, and will hang the next time I try to connect to a virtual desktop unless I kill it in the task manager.
Imagine the crazy vague answers you get when you search for “Windows App won’t close”.
