I've received a bit of feedback on my Microsoft Vocab Part I post.

In particular, I have learned

  • From Adam, there is a surprisingly complete and up-to-date reference available that dates back to the late 90's. Not much has changed.
  • Microsoft employees like to cling to old product names, even when referring to replacement products. In particular, Eric pointed out that S+ stands for the old pre-Outlook Schedule+ application, and that people still use the name Raid when referring to its successor, Product Studio.
  • My grasp on real vocabulary is embarrassing. Evidently the term “vet“ is a real word, and I didn't even know - or think to double check. Glad I didn't have to pass a vocab test to get hired... ;)
