Google is somehow worse than Microsoft at naming
- toyg 6y agoGoogle has become worse than Microsoft. GMail, GMaps, and GDocs, were simple and to the point. Then institutional rot happened.
- baskire 6y agoI’d argue they didn’t face an existential threat. Causing the employees to stop focusing on the business. Same thing that brought down intel. Like intel (of the past). You can coast and the money will keep coming in. Up until it doesn’t.
- fomine3 6y agoAlmost no one remembers and it's safe to forget previous Google TV. Meanwhile Xbox Series X/S is confusing and Xbox / Xbox 360 / Xbox One shouldn't be forgotten. So MS is worse for now.
- ethbr0 6y agoI'm assuming parent was alluding to the "Live!" Windows days, where internet-enabled products suddenly became "{Product} Live!" Eventually, everything of consequence ended up with the suffix, and they finally dropped it. But say what you want about Microsoft. Somewhere out there there's a publicly accessible doc describing the naming. And probably a video too. * * https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/partners/videos/microsoft-365-smb-and-proplus-renaming https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/partners/videos/micr...
- forgot-my-pw 6y agoMicrosoft had terrible naming for Windows and Xbox products. On the cloud side, Azure has way better service/product names than AWS: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/aws-professional/services https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/aws-prof...
