Microsoft has like 15 words they just keep rearranging for all their products, kinda like what taco bell did for "mexican" food.
I remember working IT, and every other week there was some announcement that looked like this:
Microsoft Pro Plus for Office is now Office 365 plus for Business
Office 365 Office Pro is now Microsoft Office Pro Plus
Office Dynamics 365 for Business is now Office for Business Pro
Microsoft Windows Home Office 365 is now Windows 365 Home Plus
How anyone still manages that fucking licensing is beyond me.
Remember how many things got the name Exchange or Outlook back in the day?
they got the idea from how often HBO renames thier service.
Their marketing department is straight up paranoid with nothing to do lol
Don't disrespect Taco Bell by comparing them to this shit company.
