This rebrand will be liked less than when Gap, Cracker Barrel and Jaguar introduced new logos. At this rate I wouldn’t put it past MSFT to rename the company and all products Copilot. Just Copilot.

#113Someone please remove the self-serve paint thinner fountain from their cafeteria. It's beyond ridiculous.

#116I 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 might just be the first company run by an LLM. At least I couldn't tell the difference anymore. What an incredible joke.

#117News from almost a year ago now. Some discussion last January: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42751726 And the bigger discussion shortly after, setting a tone somewhat for the rest of the year: The Microsoft 365 Copilot launch was a disaster https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42831281
I think this is a different, new rename? It was renamed last year, but I don't recall seeing office in it's entirety being called "The Copilot App"?

#118Who is responsible at the end of the day for these renames? Marketing or someone higher?

#119Jobs was right about Microsoft having no taste. In a saner organization, the person proposing this would have been dismissed for poor judgment.

#1201975: 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…
