I told you it was a bad idea

From last week:

“Microsoft’s naming conventions continue to baffle me. ‘Zune’ was good. ‘Windows Phone 7 Series’ is too long. People will feel compelled shorten it.”

Now, users are beginning to refer to it with the cryptic nickname “WP7.” What is that, Word Processing 7? It’s from Microsoft, is it some new version of Word?

Nice job branding, guys.
