Barely related, but what's with the whole "Creators Update"/"Fall Creators Update" thing?
It's not "Creator's Update," so I guess it's supposed to be targetting "Content Creators," right? But looking at the changes in these updates, I'm really not sure what's been added for any sort of content creator. Windows Movie Maker hasn't turned into Premiere, Paint hasn't turned into Photoshop, etc. So where the fuck does the name come from? And why not just name it with some Apple/Google-esque codename like Snow Leopard or Jellybean instead of making some half-baked marketing scheme?
- Sylos 9y agoYeah, at the time I could still understand them calling the original Creators Update that way, just to have some marketing buzzword to throw at people, but "Fall Creators Update" is really just the dumbest thing I've seen in a while. Not only is its meaning just as nonexistent as the first time around, it also just seems like something that some guy thought up on the spot in a meeting, after remembering that he was still supposed to ask the marketing department about that. It's not in any way a remarkable name and it's going to be confusing to many people as well as to search engines, making troubleshooting any issues with it unnecessarily hard.
