    Why couldn’t they just stick with Office… It’s 100% explanatory, short, and to the point.

    365 never made sense to me. Is it supposed to represent the year? Like available 24/7 but instead it’s there for you 365 days of the year? And if that’s the case why the fuck would I care? It’s software, of course it’s available to me whenever I want. It’s not a 7/11 hotdog rotisserie.

    We’re…never going to say any of that. It’s Microsoft 365, or 365 for short. Even that sounds stupid. Office is what people understand, 365 always requires explaining.

    MS is so exhausting.

      I’m still pissed off about Entra, what the hell does that mean?

      Microsoft need to spend a less time renaming products with confusing names and more time fixing their applications so they actually run.

      This is the same culture that decided that X was a better name than Twitter. These people are so far removed from regular society that this idiotic shit actually makes sense to them

    They are trying so fucking hard, it’s so sad. Especially when everyone saw that report of them slashing AI related metrics because nobody is fucking using it.

    I can’t wait to build my new PC and install Linux. Cannot wait.

    Don’t really care what they call it, I’m not paying a subscription for software or running anything in the cloud that could just as well run locally. The fact that there are decent open source alternatives means they can do all the dumb shit they want and we don’t have to care.

    So to be clear Microsoft 365 Copilot now includes Copilot? Well shit I was worried Copilot wouldn’t include Copilot, I was just about to ask Copilot if it was in Copilot.

      You misunderstand. Copilot is only the name of the app with the option to add Copilot to Copilot, but that’s an added cost, if you want to get Copilot with your Copilot.

      I’m 80% sure Office was folded in to Copilot to boost subscriber numbers. Every office subscription will be reported as an AI subscription to boost their adoption numbers.
