You are describing everything Microsoft has done since at least the late 90s.

Things were named fine back then. Small Business Server, Office, Frontpage, Internet Information Server, Visual Studio...

  • That was back when they were going wild naming everything "Active". Active Desktop made sense, Active Directory? What made that "Active". ActiveMovie? It's just a video playing framework... ActiveX?? X?? ActiveSync, I don't want my sync to be active. ActiveStore was apparently a thing?

  • It's like ChatGPT, that goes with "Sora", instead of "Image Generation", which would have been very clear
