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.

-sigh- time to start getting accustomed to libre office.

MicroSlop 365 CoPileofShit, more like it

The Onion?

Lol. Please everyone contribute to the change you want to see. If you're not sharing spreadsheets and slide decks in a team, then for personal use you should be good with Collabora (LibreOffice based). It's great. Write your novel and short stories in Collabora

Microslop 365 Copislop

IIRC this happened in January of 2025. The rebrand obviously failed because I don't know a single person who calls it anything other than "Office" or "Microsoft Office".

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.

OnlyOffice and LibreOffice are still called OnlyOffice and LibreOffice.

Stupidest brand mishandling ever, this is incredibly shortsighted

When you ask the copilot to do a 365...

God damn I love The Onion

...oh wait

In reality the copilot is not their ai, it is the user!! They drain every single click, data, keyboard input, every mouse mouvements for a while now. The strategy is to train an ai to replace the worker. The copilot is you.

So all of the Microsoft 365 users become instantly AI users? Microsoft gonna report after months that AI users surged the first months of 2026, stocks gonna go up, shareholders happy.

I really like libreoffice honestly. In my job I have to use docs but I find myself copying from libre office most of the time. Prior to that, I used to create all my visuals with office and do my graphs in excel. So I’ve tried a few different ways to do things. Libre reminds me of old school products and I kind of like that. Plus it does what I want with shapes. Which is nice when I need to make visuals. I still use excel though, for now.

Gross.

How long do we reckon it'll be before it's re-branded back to "Office"?

Microslop

This renaming happened for the Office app a while back, but now they've applied it to Office itself? It is April 1st already?

I think it's time to make a serious push into getting people to boycott Microsoft along with OpenAI. Windows 11 is now a bloated surveillance operating system and Office 365 raised their prices to pay for an AI feature based on OpenAI's LLMs. OpenAI donated $25 million to Trump.

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.

Right after I learn about how much of a failure Copilot has been, and they do this. I'm not surprised, but man.

Excel --> Copilot Calculate (356) App

Word --> Copilot 365 Live Notepad

Outlook --> Team 365 Share Copilot App

PowerPoint --> Visual Copilot App Live

Visio --> untouched

Will they rename Windows (Winslop) to "CopilotOS"? If yes, I'll nuke Windows 10 (!) from my SSD, then replace it with Manjaro or some similar simplified Arch derivative, as my main OS.

Glad to see some manager making 6 figures "did something".

I cancelled my subscription when they made the copilot plan the default and switched me to it without asking. I'm now selfhosting nextcloud and using libreoffice.

Wasn't there a report a week or two back saying that they cut their internal sales targets by 50% because no one was using copilot? They must be desperate to abandon decades of branding they have built up.

Bring back the Zune, you fuckers. At least that had cool design language.
