What happened with Microsoft marketing? The people who really live and die by these changes are the license (renewal) managers, and their legal counterparts, at big orgs. The users can’t keep up. The MS admins at each big org struggle to explain these iterations. My own experience is that I mostly use the features I can find across each iteration and can barely use the newest frontier features exclusive to the latest version. Maybe new generations of those younger professionals entering the workforce see a different slice of things, but in my experience the graybeards still know how to use Microsoft Office better than the fresh entrants. I actually like the Copilot interface in Office and Teams and the new start page. It serves my needs, but it’s a gateway to Office (or OneDrive and Sharepoint), not a replacement for Office (yet). Office and E5 licensing are their moneymakers and they keep messing with it in a way where nobody could reasonably explain what the changes and brand names have been in the last 5 years. They talk about Windows being an interface to agentic desktop computing, so it seems like they’re leaning towards sunsetting both the Windows brand and the Office brands for Copilot, which is a core technology they don’t build or own (in reality, or exclusively).
