   And the award for most awful product name launch this year goes to Google.

   Seriously who wrote off on such an awful name?

      I didn't realize Phil Spencer went to Google.

         Reminds me of when I realized MSSQL sometimes gets shortened to just "SQL" or "SQL Server" always felt a little disingenuous like if they're implying they're the only SQL db in town, and then to top it off it dilutes search results.

         Go is already hard to look up, imagine trying to find help for "CC" of all things. Seriously, do they work on search engines at all over there? :)
