Its genuinely phenomenal how shit Microsoft is at naming stuff.

Some of them are pretty spot on.

Internet Explorer - 9/10, explores the internet, nothing to argue about
Windows - 8/10, kinda simplistic but it does have windows
Word - 10/10, it is for words, short, to the point

Which "Word" do you mean? Is it Microsoft 365 Copilot (formerly Office) desktop app Word or Microsoft 365 Copilot (formerly Office) online app Word? Or maybe another program, that is slightly different and also named Word? Maybe Microsoft has put a descriptor on it, perhaps the word "new", which won't at all be replaced by another "new" version in a couple of years.

All making it rather hard to search for solutions to problems with these oh so similar, yet when it comes down their problems rather different programs!

Ah well, we change what we can and rant about what we can't.
