Microslop’s naming scheme has always been completely insane, its like their marketing department is a six year old child. You give them the new word you want to show up often, and instead of thinking of natural ways to implement it, they just fucking shove the word everywhere.
“Copilot” is the word now, so “Microsoft 365 Copilot”, a sequence of words that mean absolutely nothing, replaces “Microsoft Office” which is one of the most well known and memorable software names ever.
Xbox
Xbox 360
Xbox One
Xbox Series S/X
X-Box Sequence Co-Pilot Pro
That’s cheating, you stopped when it got hard.
Xbox series M
Xbox Series G
Xbox Series 2
Xbox Y
… Or something like that.
The names are so bad you forgot Xbox One X.
Before that wasn’t it “365” of everything? What’s next, “Office 365 Copilot Windows 11”?
Any bets on who wins the rebrand war?
People stop calling it Twitter first or people stop calling it Office first?
In Vancouver, Science World was technically renamed like 20 years ago.
I still call it Science World.
The museum was branded as Science World at Telus World of Science under a naming rights agreement with sponsor Telus Corporation from 2005 to 2020 before it reverted to its original name.
Well, you’re back to being technically and factually correct now.
AI is so great, so wonderful even, that they have to torture us into using it.
This kind of shit is how you know for a fact that a c-suite is just running on empty promises and adrenaline at this point.
The MS Office brand is 30+ years in the making.
Don’t forget the coke
Introducing the “Microsoft 365 Slop app”
What about schools/universities that ban using AI, they will have to ban using Sloffice 365.
Based I hate Microsoft and i am praying for their downfall.
I think this is dumber than renaming twitter to X.
Renaming twitter to x - at least it was a straight rename.
Office to Copilot? They already had a product named copilot, so now what is the old copilot? Microsoft 365 Copilot Copilot? I just want to use Microsoft 365 Copilot Excel without Microsoft 365 Copilot (formerly Microsoft 365, formerly Microsoft Office) Copilot
Imagine trying to explain what “Copilot” is to your 70 year old grandmother
Had Microsoft been good at naming things? Remember there was one Xbox One X box in your closet?
Get ready for Xbox Two CoPilot
it’s the one where the console plays itself so you can get back to fixing errors in the excel file you had opened from earlier which copilot decided to edit for some reason.
I think this is dumber than renaming twitter to X.
But not as dumb as renaming Remote Desktop to “Windows App”.
I own the World

Quick someone post this on tweeter!
Imagine if Office '97 was officially named and sold as ‘Clippy’ back in the day.
Microsoft 360 Clippy app
Crazy how a company like this can’t understand that something like the name office is forever associated with people as the office product. Doing this will guarantee less sales due to people having no idea what this is. Confusing the basic person is incredibly easy. I guess their loss.
wow just when you think microsoft couldnt possibly do anything dumber

Desperation has set in. They literally renamed a once-popular product just so they could claim X more people using Copilot.
Surely that will get people to start using either thing.
