Microsoft renames Office 365 overnight to ‘365 Copilot’ in its AI Push

365 Copilot sounds more like a calender and not like an office program.
They ruining a ~36 years old and well known brand to push their dumb AI shit on the paper?
 
I see y'all are also running Microsoft Office keys bought on shady websites.....

The main bundle of apps haven't been called Microsoft Office for a long time, it only exists as a single license and doesn't get major feature updates. The main Office apps that get feature updates have been called Microsoft 365 since 2020, they just added Copilot to the end.

Microsoft is throwing away like 4 decades of brand recognition for AI nonsense. Wow.

I know a few law firms that will probably have to switch from Office to something else, since they don't permit AIs on their work servers.

Well, an Office dev did slip Flight Simulator into Excel 97 so maybe this a full circle moment.

Just a reminder that Microsoft makes over $30 billion per year on Microsoft 365 Enterprise subscriptions. Until corporations feel like there is a worthy successor, this shit isn't going away no matter how much the common man hates it and complains about it.
 
Morons.

Office explained what it was. This just obfuscates that for the sake of a desperate AI push.

They really still haven't figured out that literally none of us want this shit? It's amazing how they're just bulldozing forward.

It seems to me that the problem is they think that they're too big to fail and they know we've got few relevant compatible options for shit we actually wanna use computers for.

You are right. "Office" today is Google Docs for the "common man".

MS is in big trouble in little chyna when they start moving away from Windows. 😬😁
 
Crap, the thread had been already made? Can a mod at least change the title to mine, I believe it's more appropriate given how retarded this news is
 
Overnight? This is a year old

What is changing?
The app icon and name, "Microsoft 365 Copilot," began rollout on January 15th, 2025.

This is just the app thing that installs the office applications I think. And it hasn't had Office in it's name for like at least a year before that.

They got rid of Office branding in 2022 and nobody noticed. The app this thread is about was named Microsoft 365 App until a year ago when they added the Copilot part but hadn't had "Office" in the name for a couple of years.

Lol, not really.

Office became Office 365 with the move to the cloud back in the 2010s, and they've been using that branding through to at least 2022, where Microsoft 365 began to be used pretty inconsistently. In common vernacular, "Office" is still the name for Microsoft's productivity suite and is used interchangibly even within Microsoft's own applications:

"Shady websites" aren't required for Microsoft to fuck up their own products and branding. Hence why my iPhone is an Xbox and their browser is named after a sex act.
