Microsoft rename of services

 

I came across this thread http://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-renames-azure-services from my MVP emails and saw that there seems to be some rebranding by the marketing teams.

The most important table is :

Prior Service Name	New Service Name
Windows Azure Compute	Cloud Services
Windows Azure Platform - All Services	All Services
Windows Azure CDN	CDN
Windows Azure Storage	Storage
Windows Azure Traffic Manager	Traffic Manager
Windows Azure Virtual Network	Virtual Network
AppFabric Cache	Cache
AppFabric Service Bus	Service Bus
AppFabric Access Control	Access Control
SQL Azure	SQL Database
SQL Azure Reporting Service	SQL Reporting

 

While we can see these are only billing name changes, I do hope that some of these propagate  to the actual marketing materials that we use and consume.

I for one am kind of sick of trying to explain the difference between Azure Appfabric and Windows Server Appfabric!
