It’s going to fall apart and the industries using the tools are going to adopt a Unix philosophy of dedicated tools that do a specific job well. May take a Butlerian Jihad, but it will happen.
Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app”
monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 4 days agoI think I know why. Microsoft Office was a product. Their new strategy is Services. They want you to lease their services and have vendor lock-in forever. It takes a long time for businesses to migrate.
This has MBA written all over it. The idea that AI can just do whatever the client needs means that you can say your service does it all!
It is a scam.

I’ve seen people mention it elsewhere in this thread. But what is MBA? I get nothing relevant when I search for it.

Masters Business Administration. The model by which all businesses have been run over the last century. The guide to late stage capitalism.

It’s worth $30 more per year. Aka it’s a subscription rate hike.
They hiked up all of the subscriptions. Then made it confusing as fuck to subscribe back to the one that you had.
