I would have thought the Office brand was much more valuable and recognizable than Copilot.
- viraptor 10mo agoYeah, but that was a problem. Now they fixed it and Copilot immediately has 36286162% higher adoption rate.
- burnt-resistor 10mo agoExpect Clippy in Notepad, VS Code, and Github soon is my bet, along with suggestions to spend money on a "today only" subscription offer.
- xquce 10mo agoEven worse, meet Mico (as in “Mi”crosoft “Co”pilot). https://copilot.microsoft.com/labs/experiments/mico https://copilot.microsoft.com/labs/experiments/mico
- paodealho 10mo agoHeh.. I remember when they announced this thing like 6 months ago. It was fully white and people mocked it a lot for resembling a drop of male bodily fluids. Now it seems they fixed it in the most lazy way (changing the color) but managed to give it an awful name. "Mico" is a group of various monkey species.
- IAmBroom 10mo agoFirst problem: you thought. You are not qualified for Microsoft marketing (now called Copilot Human Incentivizing).
- rchaud 10mo agoOffice has a monopoly and has reached the upper bound of how much more they can sell each year. The only option to force number to go up is to rebrand it and jack up the price. People know how much office suite should cost. They don't know what "AI" should cost.
- oaiey 10mo agoOffice not so much I think. Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook ... totally. But Office is just a packaging name no one uses day to day.
