What's up with Microsoft's naming system for their products anyway? The old and the new have the same name! So confusing

It's basically the same mouse, maybe only revision changes.

And a colour change
So far, the biggest confusion I found with Microsoft products is with their "Wireless Laser Desktop 6000":
Wireless Laser Desktop 6000

When you search on Google:
wireless desktop 6000 laser - Google Image Search

Problem is that there's like 2-3 of them under the same name (but look so different!) and each store carries different ones lol

Could some of them be "fake" MS products? I do know of a Microsoft mouse in the past that was fake.

Seriously? That would suck.
Always safer to buy from a known/good store I guess.

It looks exactly like a Microsoft mouse. I think it was probably manufactured at the same plant. But Microsoft claims it's a fake.

LOL!! If I remember correctly, they actually cloned the whole FACTORY!

Everyone in the factory actually thought they were working for NEC. Even the paperwork was NEC.
