     @arstechnica I want to talk to the exec who still thinks „Windows“ is a strong, positive brand.

     @arstechnica More enshittification from Microsoft: a Windows app called 'Windows App'.

     A search for help using it will now use the base term 'Windows App'.

     Which moron at MS came up with this stupid idea?

     Possibly the same one who took the 'Outlook' name from the client, and spread it into an email address domain, a web app, and various iterations of Office.

     A search for online help using Outlook, produces only irrelevant info relating to the *other* part of Outlook.

     Linux - here I come!
