This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
It all kind of makes sense if you look at it from an investors' perspective, which is the only one that really matters to CEOs. You can do whatever you want, but unless a company is an AI company, you can't reach a stratospheric PE ratio and your stock stays "low." You convince investors that you are an AI-first company, and your stock can break free of its shackles and reach its full potential!
All for the relatively cheap price of slapping two letters on everything, AI.
Haha, gross.
What does this even mean 😂 Capitalism breakdancing over the dead body of language at this point.
Too funny. My last boss hated how much I bitched and complained about Microslop. Now I'm certain he's bitching. Glad I dumped M$, what a shit company with shit products.
Wow, it's not a joke
Didn't this happen like., a few years ago?
I feel there's some marketing conspiracy with the "office" term. It looks like they have been planning to make it disappear because it is uncool for some new marketing genius or it reduces the target markets, I guess. So they first attached a new term, 365, as a transition, and now they dropped the office while keeping the 365 so recent users can still make the link.
The AI bubble was maybe just a convenient excuse to advance the plan.
Plus, since post-covid, return to office is very unpopular, how convenient!
The plot thickens.
the word "app" in Microsoft 365 Copilot app isn't capitalized. I'm not sure if it is actually technically correct, but i think mentioning that it's an app is awkward anyway. (it only faintly gets across that it's like, a program with slightly better access to files, ~~the OS~~ windows, and the computers resources than a web thing, but i thought everything is enthusiastically in the cloud?) also, according to me, not capitalizing the product name fails to (superficially) communicate being professional ("Microsoft Access 365 Professional™®") by capitalizing it
MS is bad at naming their products and versions? Since when?
/s of course
MS CoPilot One 365 coming soon!
Everyone already using it is just going to roll their eyes, maybe hate-tweet about it, and move on. CEOs, middle managers, and sales people are salivating open-mouthedly.
Cool. Still don't need office so... Whatever.
Microsoft executives have never used a copilot or any 365 tools and it shows.
