Please consider renaming the Portal for ArcGIS Windows Service to ArcGIS Portal so it better lines up with Server and Datastore. 

1. This just makes sense

2. When I need to stop my ESRI services it would be really awesome if they were all together in my Task Manager.  It would save me from having to scroll down to the bottom to find Portal

Do they run under the same account?  If so, you can sort them on Log On As to alleviate this problem.

I agree. The naming conventions seem to be all over the place. Sometimes I hear Portal referred to as "Portal for ArcGIS" and sometimes it's referred to "ArcGIS Enterprise Portal." 

Esri renamed "ArcGIS for Server" to "ArcGIS Server." I'm not sure why Portal hasn't been renamed (although I thought Esri already renamed it to "ArcGIS Enterprise Portal" but I might be wrong.

I mean it's not that big of a deal. But it would be nice to have some sort of consistency.
