Office365 to Microsoft 365 to Windows 365 (that's something else now) to Copilot 365 and now Microsoft 365 Copilot App.
Honestly, I'm surprised 365 has remained static all this time. A little impressed, even.
Especially since 365 is a really stupid part of the name. What is with Microsoft and 360 numbers?
I guess they think we'll use it 365 days a year. Or, maybe, we'll just pay for it 365 days a year. Besides the Xbox and their 365 line, where else did they use other 360 numbers?
Pay for it all over again every 365 days, because now everything is a subscription and you're not allowed to own even a permanent license to your software, let alone the software itself.
if so, they're optimistic about their uptime
That's a good one! Legit made me chuckle!
