I reckon the same dipshits responsible for Microsoft’s product naming in the early 2000s all moved on to Google to wreak the same havoc there.

Their current product naming is still terrible.They went from the Xbox, to the Xbox 360, the Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X.

The latest console is the Asus ROG Xbox Ally X

I thought that was satire but I've googled it and you're not even joking.

And I bet marketeers got paid a lot of money to come up with those.

Gaming’s home deserves to be on Linux.

I know GabeN agrees with me, and he’s worked hard to make it happen.

		It basically already is if you're not playing live service. Unfortunately I can't see MS ever making their catalogue of games workable with Proton, Riot won't as well since they won't budge on kernel level anti-cheat, and for God knows what reason Epic won't do so either (even though they're always pushing for open platforms???)

...and the Ally ISN'T EVEN AN XBOX!!!!

"""AI Overview: No, the Asus ROG Ally is not actually an Xbox. It is a handheld Windows computer made by Asus, even though it features Xbox branding and uses an Xbox-style controller layout"""

		Obviously it’s an ally, just like the Xbox series x is a series. How much clearer could they be? (Joking). Let’s be honest, Nintendo are just as bad - new 2DS would like a word.

Looking at the recent decades-old-brand renaming bonanza with MS Office I'm pretty sure they're still in Redmond.

Got burned by this when I was wanting to uninstall MS Office from my laptop recently.

Filtering with string "office" turned up nothing in the list of installed programs but it was clear that "MS Office Click-to-Run SxS" was regularly grinding away chewing lots of CPU. So I was not crazy -- Office was installed.

The names of the "installed program" for MS Office is now Microsoft 365. Brilliant value add on that one </sarc>
