"Xbox One X Series X Service Pack 1 September Refresh CTP Preview 3 Update 5a*. I mean, imma buy it, but lord MSFT sucks at naming stuff" [0]
"I once worked on the unambiguously named "Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Tools For Microsoft Office .NET System 2005". Yes, it had "Microsoft" and ".NET" in the name twice. When the name was announced we all laughed as we assumed it was a joke. It was not." [1]
The whole thing is like german agglutinative nouns. Bits of product keep piling up, but each one has the most generic possible name. But the least forgivable one has to be the XBox One X. I hadn't even realised there was an XBox One X Series X.
Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Tools For Microsoft Office .NET System 2005 was pretty great at the time, being able to automate Excel in C# and not have to use VBA was very nice.
But it was interesting to see in the comments that MS actually claimed credit for it:
"It was an internal-only video clip commissioned by our packaging [team] to humorously highlight the challenges we have faced RE: packaging and to educate marketers here about the pitfalls of packaging/branding"
"I once worked on the unambiguously named "Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Tools For Microsoft Office .NET System 2005". Yes, it had "Microsoft" and ".NET" in the name twice. When the name was announced we all laughed as we assumed it was a joke. It was not." [1]
