Post title is a bit misleading. I see that Microsoft 365 still has the same name. The one-time purchases are still called Office 2024 or some such. It's just the umbrella android/iOS app where you can do all of office that's changed its name from "Microsoft Office" to "Microsoft 365 Copilot".

But still agree with the general sentiment that the branding is getting even worse than before.



If that's the case it is not obvious

office.com's title now says "Welcome to the Microsoft 365 Copilot app", and right underneath it says "The Microsoft 365 Copilot app (formerly Office)".


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

So it’s obvious for those who can piece together the long term marketing narrative.
