      Sentinel, Defender (not the AV, lol), Entra. I hear these daily in meetings and don’t know what the hell they are. (Not my job)

        Sentinel is MS’s SEIM product, defender is likely people referring to their paid av offering, Entra is what they renamed AzureAD recently which is their identity management platform. Not sure why they renamed the last one azureAD was a good name for it.

          Maybe because they were getting tired of hearing from admins frustrated that Azure AD still doesn’t have full feature parity with “normal” AD? Now it’s clearly a separate product at least.

      I think Google’s the worst for this. Examples such as the browser Chrome, when browser chrome has been a thing for a long time. Go, a very common verb and keyword and also now a programming language. Not to be confused with their Go Links, which was a URL shortener. And then there’s all the ones they either rebrand or retire and/or replace.

      Perhaps they want confusing names because they think other search engines can’t handle the ambiguity.

        To be honest, other programming languages aren’t named any better

        Pascal is just a common name, Rust is a common noun, Java is an island which you cannot find by searching for just its name, Python’s a snake, C# is a musical note and C is just a letter.
