outlook and ie misnomers

I couldn't be the only person who has caught the cognitive dissonance of pressing the "Start" button on windows xp and observing the following app names and descriptors pinned to the start menu:

Internet
Internet Explorer

E-mail
Microsoft Outlook

When I hit the start menu I'm thinking about a task. Usually that task is either browsing the internet, or checking mail. I'm sure my brain is becoming permanently unwired because (here's the dissonance): I use the browser to check mail, and outlook to view the internet. Bwa ha ha ha this is somebody's idea of a funny joke I'm sure.
