Microsoft really has to pull itself together in terms of product branding. Microsoft 365 itself was a terrible name for an office suite, but adding a "copilot" at the end is hitting too low a bar. Not sure how it even got an approval in the first place.
- mrweasel 2y agoMy guess is that the plan will be Office -> Office 365 -> Microsoft 365 -> Microsoft 365 Copilot -> Microsoft Copilot.
- pylua 2y agoWhy was it Microsoft 365 in the first place? Does it not work on leap days ?
- mrweasel 2y agoGood question, 360 would have been better, full circle coverage of all your (office) productivity needs.

- mrweasel 2y agoThe sad part is that that name doesn't feel like that much of a stretch for Microsoft. I wouldn't put it past them to end up with two products called Copilot.
- Yossarrian22 2y agoYou mean like GitHub Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot?
- layer8 2y agoIn 2020 I was disappointed they didn't rename it to Microsoft 366.

- Ballas 2y agoYou only pay fro 365 days a year. The leap day is free.
- einpoklum 2y agoToday, I noticed there was a new App on my Windows laptop at work, because the Apps section was highlighted. "That's weird," I thought "I don't _remember_ installing anything." So, I expand "Apps", and I see an item named "Microsoft CoPilot 365". It absolutely did not occur to me that this was a rebranded/updated Office. I simply thought "Aww, man, Microsoft is at it again, raining some new crap on me that I never asked for." Without a moment's thought I right-clicked it and uninstalled. Only now as I read this thread I realize I may have accidentally uinstalled MS Office.
