MS Using Long Names to Compensate for Short Software?

Microsoft needs to tone down product descriptions

I made a comment a week or so ago about how it seems that Microsoft changing the name of Pocket PC software to "Windows Mobile" software might be a tad confusing for late adopters of the Pocket PC. Apparently, Mike Langberg at the Post and Courier agrees with that position to some degree. <img src ="modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif"> Not only that though, he seems to feel that the longer the description for a Microsoft product, the less it offers in actual substance <img src ="modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif">

"More is often less with Microsoft, which can't seem to stop itself from rolling out long and confusing names for new products that otherwise aren't deserving of much attention.

Consider the new Windows Mobile 2003 software for Pocket PCs, a modest but worthwhile improvement to the Pocket PC 2002 operating system for personal digital assistants (PDAs).

Microsoft's hardware partners and journalists got a Windows Mobile Cheat Sheet specifying the 10 possible ways in which the software, available for both PDAs and wireless phones, could be described."
