Yeah gotta love Microsoft marketing goons that rebrand everything every few years.

Though azure ad was actually a bit confusing. But usually their rebranding makes zero sense. Like from lync to Skype or msdn to my visual studio. Or sms to sccm to mem.

Rebranding Yammer is a complete head-scratcher to me. At least "Azure AD" might be a little confusing since it's independent (I think?) from Azure itself.
Azure AD is distinct from both Azure and AD, so the naming never made much sense.

Switching over to "Entra ID" is probably the only actually useful rebranding Microsoft did in the past 30 years.

Oh yeah Yammer and Viva something (I forget the full name even)... :X I didn't even remember that one.
