The world is controlled by idiots and I'm told I'm the fool for not following along
If I were on their developer team this shit would make me depressed for at least a week. Like, It's an objectively horrible idea, obviously pushed by someone from marketing or (worse) leadership. An intern can tell you why it's bad, a fucking llm can see it based on description alone.
Yet everyone have to live with it.
Probably not marketing; they live and breathe SEO. My guess is they're trying to push service contracts, so they want to make their stuff impossible to look up.

I knew I had remote desktop on my work laptop, because I had used it before, but the other day I was trying to open remote desktop and nothing came up, so I created an IT support ticket only for them to tell me it was now called Windows App...
Still laughing my ass off... Imagine trying to Google for solutions to "windows app" :) :)
But we live in a world where Muskie renamed Twitter to X, so....some serious brain damage going on all over the place.

Even "App App" would be better.
I saw this on my work computer the other day and I couldn’t figure out what the fuck it was. This explains it. Wtf
This is some Twitter-tier rebranding failure.

Wait, are they doing a Boeing over there at Microsoft? Did they take all of the marketing people and put them in charge? Surely they had people that work there that saw this problem instantly but they were either ignored or they said nothing which says a lot about what they've got going on internally at Microsoft.
