Kind of funny considering that Visio is the name of another Microsoft product.

Microslop can cry about it.

I doubt they will care that much. But it will create a bit of confusion, at least for since in the short-term.

And because of that confusion they will have a trademark complaint

Gosh, someone should tell the Microsoft teams team that Microsoft teams for business and Microsoft teams for personal and Microsoft teams for students are also using the same names and make communication difficult. They should get a copilot team on it

In that case we’ll call it Frisio, French Visio.

It’s also a French word that means video conference (as a shortened form of visioconférence).

People who use Visio, probably wont even have (the wrong) Visio installed. There shouldn’t be any confusion.
