Microsoft's branding is mostly about time and should not be assumed to have any other significance. You might think you can guess what "Visual Direct COM" would be or "Active Windows.NET" but the words have no meaning beside "Currently this word is hot so my new product needs that word". A Copilot XBox Edge might be a video game console with AI but it equally might be a new version of Excel. There is no coherent rationale.

A company with an actual rationale names products PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PS3, PS4, PS5

Microsoft called their rival products XBox, XBox 360, XBox One, XBox Series

Asked to put six animals in order, some might figure Anteater, Bear, Elephant, Fox, Goose, Pigeon makes sense - alphabetical order, English names. Others might try to rank them by size, the Elephant is definitely bigger than a Bear, but is the Fox bigger than a Goose? Not sure. You might give them Latin names, there are several reasonable things you might do or at least attempt

But Microsoft are like that's easy: Elephant, Dog, Squirrel, Another Squirrel, Sparrow, Bear, Elephant. And like, that's not even six animals, and it's the wrong animals, and your order makes no sense, what is wrong with you?
