Brian - on a lighter note is there a "ReName" Vertical in Microsoft whose job is to Rename products and make them sound new

So Data Explorer becomes Power Query (which the Rename vertical thinks is too intimidating because of the use of the word power) which becomes

Get and Transform (and loses it decicated tab in Excel) which becomes Get Data in PBI Desktop and Data Flows in the Service

Likewise Gemini becomes Power Pivot and fortunately does not become the less intimidating Crunch and Punch and becomes Data model in PBI Desktop

 

So too with Office 365 Pro Plus becoming Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise - Has anyone evaluated the cost of Renaming - The hundreds of places where some poor bloke has to go and update the names (docs, webpages, application flash screens )

Or is there a Parameter set where you can change the name once - and its reflected everywhere
