Remember a few weeks ago when everyone freaked out at Microsoft Photos changing its name?

It didn't come across as the most popular name for the new app when it first pushed out to insiders in mid-August, though Microsoft did say it wasn't final and was taking feedback.

It could be a mistake, it could be intentional, it could end up being the final name and we all have to live with it whether we think it's silly or not. Guess we'll soon see.
