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.

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?

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

I think the trend died with 10 as soon as tech companies stopped being afraid of fucking their customers over.

Edit: I saw this trend too, I start at XP due to my age but those are the OSs I liked.

People said the same time with windows 8...and ME
