> terrible rename to "Skype for Business" that they secretly shoved out in Windows Update this month - confusing and pointless

It's not pointless. Having one name for your business and consumer products makes things simpler.

Lync branding was confusing anyway.

Try working in a shop that does Linq. Link, Linq, and Lync sound exactly the same when spoken. So sentences like: "let me send you the linq link on lync" occur.

I frequently hear Linq pronounced "Link... Linqueue?", and Lync as "Link... Lüngg?"
