From the Yahoo article:

"Brad Goldberg, general manager of Windows product development at Microsoft, said the new name was aimed at "communicating the idea of clarity."

HAHAHA! That's the first (and probably last) time the words "Microsoft" and "clarity" will be used in the same sentence.

""That lets users focus on the things they need to focus on," Goldberg said."

Yeah, like focusing on fixing the bugs, focusing on making the operating system more secure, focusing on data recovery after a crash...
