It’s like when they renamed their Remote Desktop app to “The Windows App”. Like wtf?
Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app”

This renaming happened for the Office app a while back, but now they’ve applied it to Office itself? It is April 1st already?

Yeah the online 365 office was branded with Copilot BS sometime last summer I think. Also logging in to the online office throws you to the copilot prompt by default. Even before this the online version of office was getting so bad that it was not worth using anymore. I’ve been using LibreOffice for 3+ years now, but every now and then I gave to access a sheet it something with a different PC and still run into this office garbage.

On my phone trying to log jnto office.com would give me a splash page to install the copilot app with no option to just use Outlook. Found out if you go directly to the app subdomain (outlook.office365.com) you could log in normally through the browser. Computer didn’t prompt for the copilot app of course, just the phone.
Wonder if that option will go away now. If so, I won’t be checking for scheduled meetings on my phone anymore.
