How is such a product decision even possible? Genuinely curious.
Ask the marketing department that destroyed one of the most famous brands on earth, MS Office, and renamed it to "Microsoft Copilot 365 app": https://office.com
This is so bad it doesn't even seem humanly possible. Maybe this decision was made by Copilot itself.

Or Winamp. I read it couple of times before I noticed it is not Winamp.
Winapp, it really whips the LLMas ass
God damnit...that definitely deserves the upvote.
+100 ... We definitely need a "super upvote" that you can use say 100 pts of karma to give to a comment.
@dang can't we have a feature on HN where you vote a comment into the "hall of fame" or such?

baaa BAAA-aaaaa
I just realized it now after reading your comment, I opened first comments to find out what's new about Winamp before opening the site
Windows App is the biggest naming blunder in history. Impossible to find relevant information.
It's perfectly clear: if you need to run a Windows app on another Windows PC, you just open the Windows app store on your Windows PC to download the Windows app Windows App, a Windows app that lets you connect to and run Windows apps on other Windows PCs.
Windows PC? I think you mean "Windows app host" (once we all move to thin clients due to consumer PCs becoming unaffordable)
