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

Between this and what they've done to Windows they're proving daily that you can shit exactly where you eat when you're a tech monopoly.
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.

They really have a massive talent. It's not easy to have such a consistent record in choosing stupid and confusing names, rebranding stuff with no reason.
Honestly the hardest part of “productivity” is keeping up with the product names. 😅 I just hope the rename doesn’t break links/docs and that licensing/features stay crystal clear for users.

Well at least they're being honest about the future of Microsoft.
