As somebody who has to work with deploying this software for consultants that use W365 Cloud PCs, fuck this name. If there is an error or an issue with it, good fucking luck trying to Google a solution because searching for “Windows App Error” gets you nowhere fucking useful.

And for their next office platform, they decided to settle with the name of ERROR.

Remember that RTS game called Z? I tried searching for that back in the BBS days, and the search results included literally every zip file available. Good times…

Let me get on my tinfoil hat: I’d wager that Microsoft views this as a feature, not a bug. They voluntarily tank their SEO so that you have more incentive to use their shitty LLM assistant.

I asked ChatGPT if it knew of that, and even with it’s heavy microsoft influence it was confused.
