It's the branding. When the button that explored the internet said "internet explorer" it was so obvious. Then every OS component had to become its own brand. Why can't it just be called "internet"?
- aleph_minus_one 9mo ago> Why can't it just be called "internet"? Because the world wide web is just one of the many applications that is possible to implement on the internet infrastructure.
- Dylan16807 9mo agoThey were asking about "internet" versus "internet explorer", so that's not relevant.
- aleph_minus_one 9mo agoThe Internet Explorer is not for exploring the internet, but the world wide web, so the name never did make sense.
- jamesnorden 9mo agoI guess intranets don't exist.
- direwolf20 9mo agoActually, it views HTML. But if you call it Microsoft HTML Viewer and then wonder why nobody clicks on it.........
- albedoa 9mo agoLooks like the context understander has logged on. Welcome!
- Sharlin 9mo agoI'm sure soon enough it'll be renamed "Copilot 365 Explorer" or something similar.

- indymike 9mo agoI'm holding out for Copilot 365 Explorer Enterprise Edition.
- tsimionescu 9mo agoThat seems far too clear, I'd bet more on "Copilot Online".
