> Yes Microsoft is one of the worst companies at naming
I think you're being too generous. Microsoft branded it's Office Suite, BA Suite and Operating system .NET once upon a time. They'd have named their own variety of orange juice OJ.NET if they'd had one.
Every major company has naming problems from Google to Oracle to IBM and more. It's just teams, bureaucracy and marketing forces all fighting against each other.
I do think Microsoft could just hire a VP of Naming who's in charge of all names and improve productivity by billions but alas, this is where we are today. However, once the names become familiar, the actual issues are not nearly as dire as made out to be.
I was looking into Microsofts ERP options, it was so incredibly frustrating to understand and compare their different offerings that I just gave up, but they did have an option to contact their sales department, which was probably their plan all along.
