How can they expect regular people to remember what the Windows app does? It would seriously be better to pick a word at random than to overload the meaning of "Windows" again.

Here are some way better names right off the top of my head:

  • Kablam!
  • Telefenestra
  • Portle
  • Microsoft micro/do

Telefenestra

Is that where you defenestrate somebody remotely?
