Microsoft Renames Everything Again

Microsoft when they decide to make .NET Core, .NET Framework, and .NET Standard then iterate them at the same time then stop working on them all except .NET Core but it’s not called .NET Core anymore it’s uh just .NET now but it’s still Core not Framework (even though it’s a framework it’s just not .NET Framework) or Standard or .NET MAUI which is also new and Microsoft when they decide to come out with a Windows application version of OneNote and then make an entirely different Windows app called OneNote for Windows with slightly different features than the other OneNote Windows app then decide um actually no more OneNote for Windows switch to OneNote which is also a windows application, which might say OneNote 2016 on some computers even though maybe you technically have 2019 it’s just named 2016 right now sometimes

A long software-developer rant describes Microsoft repeatedly creating, renaming, splitting, and rebranding .NET and OneNote products. The joke is that Microsoft’s confusing product naming and versioning makes technically related applications seem like entirely different products, capturing the frustration of developers and Windows users when reacting to needless branding changes.
