Appx package names seem almost entirely uninteresting and most consumers will never look at them. Why would anyone bother changing them? Disclosure: Microsoft

- vitorgrs 8y agoThe thing is, they created the name when Zune was already dead lol
- dpark 8y agoDoubt it. Even if the app wasn’t published previously, it likely descended from existing code that already carried the name. I work on a codebase that still carries product names that stopped being meaningful almost a decade ago. No value in renaming across the codebase and it’d be expensive because of how much code has to be touched.
