Preview of tickets incoming in the next days:

“Do I have Copilot included?” “Is it the same as Copilot in Word?” “Do I need an extra license?” "Where is the Office app?" "Can you install Microsoft Office for me?"

This feels like it'll go the HBO Max, wait Max, no HBO Max, dibocal route

It jus clicked for me why they call it copilot. Hated it since it was announced and even more now. Everybody should be flying solo

What's next? Windows renamed to Windows Copilot?

Surely they wanted to name it Microsoft 365 Copilot Slop, but the CEO was against that.

Last year they announced a price increase to the 365 subscription along with adding copilot features.

It turned out that they had actually kept the non-copilot version at the original price as a hidden "legacy" subscription.

So they were just tricking people into paying for the copilot upgrade.

Redmond just keeps getting dumber by the day. At least back when the business model was EEE they weren't stupid, just evil. Now they're both but even the evil part is nerfed by the stupid part.

Once again proving that while AI can't do a programmer's job, a tech writer's job, an artist's job, a composer's job, a doctor's job, or any other job involving thinking and understanding -- it can easily do a CEO's job and probably better than the CEO.

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.

My kid destroyed my newish laptop and I could only pluck the memory off it to salvage something. So I am back to surfing and doing office projects on my old Alienware Aurora R4 from 2011 running Windows 7. No more gaming for me but also, no need for office products for now and the foreseeable future. Today it would cost me almost double to replace the laptop he destroyed with how much my memory and graphics card would cost. I am so happy that when my Office 360 is up in March I can tell them to fuck off. I am not now nor will ever be a fan of having to pay you over $100 a year so I can open a Word Doc or an old Excel spreadsheet. I am using the web-mail version of my email so I no longer need your Outlook, either.

And..... since I have been hanging out on Lemmy I have seen way too many posts about Linux and gaming to ever think I will buy a windows product again. I miss not playing my Flight Sim and games like Madden but I will never upgrade this OS on this old beast.

Like others I am looking forward to the day when I can build my new computer and install Linux on it and enjoy gaming again.

This is satire right

This is the most idiotic rename ever. Are they high in Microslop?

Microslop Crashpilot

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

Mircoslop 365 Slopilot Slopp

God damn I love The Onion

...oh wait

I prefer LibreOffice - if you're still using Windows 10 with Linux, switch to LibreOffice!

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

Office is one of the most recognisable brands in the world. Why have they jammed it into a brand which is already toxic?

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

Lol, give these people a real fucking job.

Microslop shit

At this point I wonder if the last few months of systematically destructing the rest of Microsoft’s reputation is a false-flag action by Linux users who infiltrated the company.

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.
