Does anyone have the video of Satya waffling on about agents following you around as he fumbles to explain the value of copilot?
The beatings will continue until the stock price goes down.

#541975: Traf-O-Data renamed Microsoft. Traffic counting ditched. Visionary. 1985: MS-DOS released. Users typed everything. Peak convenience. 1995: Windows 95 launched. Clippy forced assistance. Users thrilled. 2012: Metro interface rolled out. Tiles everywhere. Intuitive design. 2014: Windows Azure renamed Microsoft Azure. “Windows” dropped. Bold move. 2020: Office 365 renamed Microsoft 365. Bing renamed Microsoft Bing…
Genuine question: are you German? (I approve)
No, I’m not German. But danke for the approval, I’ll take it anyway.

#55I'll put money on Windows 12 being rebranded to either Windows Copilot or Copilot OS for Windows.
The concept of Windows and operating systems is so 90s. The next version will be Copilot Portal, your access point to the Copilot ecosystem.

#56I genuinely thought this was a joke when I saw the headline, and I had to double check the domain name to verify that this wasn't a parody.
Apart from being absolutely abysmal marketing, the front page alone is wildly inconsistent:
* "Welcome to Microsoft 365 Copilot"
* "The Microsoft 365 Copilot app (formerly Office) [...]"
* "Microsoft 365 (formerly Microsoft Office 365) is a subscription service [...]"
Which is it, "Microsoft 365 Copilot", "(The) Microsoft 365 Copilot app", "(The) Microsoft 365 Copilot app (formerly Office)", "Microsoft 365" or "Microsoft 365 (formerly Microsoft Office 365)"?
I think Microsoft delegated all marketing decisions to AI. Not even joking.

2011: Microsoft buys Skype for $8.5 billion, rebrands Lync to Skype for Business, an incredible branding manoeuvre. 2012: Skype peer-to-peer nature and end-to-end encryption removed. 2017: Microsoft launches Teams, competes with own product after driving Skype into the ground for 6 years with encroaching advertising, removing features, and abandonment. 2025: Skype shut-down. What was the point? When MS bought Skype,…
If I remember correctly, they had to buy Skype twice because they didn't get everything g in the first transaction. Also, the purchase was backed by the cia through one of their companies (I don't remember if it was palantir though) to remove the end-to-end encryption.

#58Wow this is dumb. The reason I’m on Windows is because of Office. For my needs Office on Windows is the best—otherwise I’d be on a Mac or Linux. I use AI everyday and never found a use case for Copilot. So why rebrand Office, their best product after Copilot, their worst product?
Didn't they put Office in the cloud? If so, why is Windows needed? You could run anything plus Office.
The web version is a complete reimplementation with about as many backward compatibility problems as LibreOffice.

Missed the renaming of Azure into... ensure? I can't remember the name even though I use it frequently and the azure links still work.
