They were always great about misnomers, should have trademarked them. Quick list, as I can remember them:

"Windows explorer" never explored a window. It just listed what's in a folder.

Its reincarnation, "file explorer", can't open any file. For each file it still requires an opener, i.e. an application for that file extension.

"Internet options" never gave you any options about the internet itself, it was just changing settings of your IE.

Anything "visual" doesn't mean it's for your eyes (because you needed eyes for the previous stuff too), it was to mean "uses pixels, not character mode". They never had any "audio" or "olfactory" line of products to distinguish from.

In Skype, snapshots you make are called "video call snapshot", even though they are just photos, containing no video at all.
