Or the needless confusion when everything needed to have .NET tacked onto the name. Or after they bought Skype, and rebranded the unrelated Lync as Skype for Business. Not to mention that Lync is a homophone of LINQ, which was coming out around when Office Communication Server became Lync... Or lately, when you had Visual Studio 2015, and what is now Visual Studio 2017 being called Visual Studio '15 while it was pre-release. Naming things is hard.

I guess it is Visual Studio 15 (as in version 15), and that still holds.

  Yep, while in pre-release they always just use the version number and that only happened to be similar to the actual product name in VS 2010, I think.
