Some clouds are worth yelling at

Damn, our customers don't use copilot, but we promised to reach 50% usage in 2026...

That's it... Rename the whole thing to copilot and we achieve our goal!

Welp... Time to bring back this ol' meme.

My LibreOffice is still called LibreOffice.

It's been named "Microsoft Office" since 1990. Way to piss 35 years of brand recognition up a wall.

How drunk are these guys?

Microsoft is reporting over 600 MILLION user growth on copilot, basically overnight! Wow, very impressive Mr Nadella. You've truly pushed AI adoption forward. Someone get this man a bonus!

Why couldn't they just stick with Office... It's 100% explanatory, short, and to the point.

365 never made sense to me. Is it supposed to represent the year? Like available 24/7 but instead it's there for you 365 days of the year? And if that's the case why the fuck would I care? It's software, of course it's available to me whenever I want. It's not a 7/11 hotdog rotisserie.

“Let’s take the most recognizable software package name and make it something totally divorced from what the software is supposed to be for.”

There are probably people for whom Microsoft Office is the only desktop software that they use. There are probably many people in procurement that are going to scratch their heads and think twice about signing off on something that sounds like a flight simulator.

This is an opportunity for alternate office suites.

Copile of shit

Office is the last good branding Microsoft have and they're just getting rid of it, I can't believe it

C Suite is in a cult.

Tons of Microsoft senior engineers have been resigning over this kinda shit.

Not getting fired or laid off, though that's happening too... resigning.

Bill Gates himself has expressed significant dissapointment with where the company has gone and is going, thinks AI needs to be optional, its clearly not ready.

... Everyone hates this other than C Suite, who are either psychotically delusional, in an actual AI worshipping cult (you'd be surprised how many tech high ups are in one), or, they simply hate us and want us to die, want to be the overlords of whatever is left after they basically destroy modern civilization.

We’re…never going to say any of that. It’s Microsoft 365, or 365 for short. Even that sounds stupid. Office is what people understand, 365 always requires explaining.

MS is so exhausting.

Hey there, laptop, looks like you’re going to be a linux machine now.

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

Microslop

You cannot make this shit up.

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.

Excel --> Copilot Calculate (356) App

Word --> Copilot 365 Live Notepad

Outlook --> Team 365 Share Copilot App

PowerPoint --> Visual Copilot App Live

Visio --> untouched

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.

Don't confuse it with Microsoft 365 or Microsoft Copilot app ! 😂

MS every single day: ooohooh! We got some great news, you’re gonna love this!!

Actual people: lemme gues it’s more AI bs?

Ms: more AI bs!

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?"

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.

Microslop

Damn, guess Libre Office is the only office app now

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

So to be clear Microsoft 365 Copilot now includes Copilot? Well shit I was worried Copilot wouldn't include Copilot, I was just about to ask Copilot if it was in Copilot.

Cope alot.

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.

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.

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.

what the fuck...

so AI psychosis goes both ways it seems

Microslop Crashpilot

Gross.

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

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.

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.

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.
