How Microsoft Names Its Products
It could just be a coincidence, but I ran across this message board posting where somebody suggests that Microsoft name their product “Windows Identity Foundation”. However, this was three years ago! It’s nice that somebody followed up recently with a little “congratulations on your suggestion” posting, but I wonder if the original poster even realizes that his suggestion is now the official name for the identity framework that Microsoft just released.
I will go ahead and throw out that Microsoft should rename its ORM solution from Entity Framework to Windows Data Access Foundation (WDAF). You heard it here first!
