1975: 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)

Wow 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?
