    The only possible way Microsoft can be this bad at naming things is if they are actively doing it on purpose.

      How can they expect regular people to remember what the Windows app does? It would seriously be better to pick a word at random than to overload the meaning of “Windows” again.

      Here are some way better names right off the top of my head:

        Telefenestra

        Is that where you defenestrate somebody remotely?
