If it’s true, it seems like a crazy idea. Whether you like office or not, it’s a known brand and people have been using it for a long time. Throwing away that name recognition has to be a bad idea, especially as many people are increasingly resentful at having AI shit forced down their throats.
Where do you see that it isn’t true? Clicking through to the MicroSlop site, it looks like it confirms this as true:
The Microsoft 365 Copilot app (formerly Office) lets you create, share, and collaborate all in one place with your favorite apps now including Copilot.*
Is this just a wording fail and the app is changing, not the product line?
If so, still not even the most confusing rebrand in recent memory.

Edit - apparently it’s not true.

I think it was the verge. . . But a quick search yields mixed results. I dunno, honestly!

Imagine if someone took a well known brand like Tumblr and renamed it to something stupid like “Y”
