I left Windows after Windows 8, haven't touched Windows of my own free will since then.
it’s been renamed in January 2025. This is not a new change.

fake news. only the crap 365 suite was renamed, that only idiots pay for.
Office was renamed to 365 literal years ago
Click the link, it's not just 365, it's "365 Copilot app (formerly Office)"
Why?
Why is every company right now making it impossible to understand what their app does?
I swear to fucking god, I’ve been looking for SAAS products at work to fill a role, they’re all branded as AI and not what the companies actually fucking do.
Office has like a 40 year plus reputation as THE office suite. What the fuck us copilot? That cheap knockoff OpenAI they debuted before it was really?
It's not about the user.
(it's about sounding innovative and cool with whichever trend to the brainless money people aka shareholders)
Because AI on its own doesn't actually make a return, but by conflating the AI investment with a genuine productivity tool that's making money, you can start to hide your poor choices.
they are trying hard to peddle it to govt usage since they are likely a guaranteed revenue stream, things like palintir is being peddle hard by thiel to multiple countries.(including israel and defense contracting)
