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

Using any bloatsoft product is a joke at this point, unless your job or school forces you to do so

Boy, that company should probably fire the CEO, what with him forcing it to commit suicide.

"Jerry, could you come into my 365 copilot?" - some boss at Microsoft probably.

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

I have had open office installed on my computer since 2008. While back then word wasn't complete shit I was still using it for many years. But now there is nothing Libre office has that word doesn't so fuck MS office.

God damn I love The Onion

...oh wait

What's next? Windows renamed to Windows Copilot?

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

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

Microslop, indeed

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

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.

MicroSlop 365 CoPileofShit, more like it

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".

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

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

OnlyOffice and LibreOffice are still called OnlyOffice and LibreOffice.

Slop.

This is satire right

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.

Cockpilot

Hahaha… good joke, but people already did it.

…it's a joke, right?

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.

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