#252I 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…
IIRC one point Microsoft had a marketing campaign where they associated everything with ".NET" and nobody could explain exactly what ".NET" even was. Here we go with Copilot.
Also the brief foray into "Live" https://logos.fandom.com/wiki/Windows_Live

Do you remember when they bought the first and largest webmail platform and did nothing with it?
I seem to remember they spent years trying and failing to migrate it to .net.
Not quite--this predates .net. They acquired Hotmail in 1997, while it was running on Solaris mail servers and Apache on FreeBSD for the web frontend. In a highly publicized move, Microsoft ventured to port it to Exchange and IIS on Windows NT. This went on for years on end, with MS claiming to have finished the transition several times, while getting egg on their face. Eventually, they got it running on Windows 2000 and a combination of their flagship products and Windows Services for Unix (the WSL of those times).
It has since been rebranded as MSN Hotmail, Windows Live Hotmail, Hotmail, and Outlook, likely with some 365 thrown in.
Meanwhile, they have mismanaged their once great mail user agent Outlook Express, as well as their quite useful personal information manager Microsoft Outlook, to the point where their newest offering is absolutely unusable.

I hope every publication uses Microsoft Copilot (formerly Office) for years, like they did for X (formerly Twitter).
Some of us are likely never going to stop referring to it as twitter. X, may as well be 3 Xs.
I still always go on the site using twitter.com domain or search.

Microsoft -> Microslop -> Megaslop.
So many things have happened in the last 12 months that made reality indistinguishable from satire. This is Megaslop making their best effort to win the prize in that category.
Also, never trust a statistic you haven’t faked yourself: Now Megaslop can claim a drastic surge in the number of “Copilot” users.

What’s not obvious? It went from “Microsoft 365” (the dumb but old rebrand) to “Microsoft 365 Copilot”.
”Formerly Office” suggests Office is no more.
”Formerly Office” happened in october 2024
