Too many. Rebranding Office 365 as Copilot 365 or whatever .. seriously?!?

They already screwed up Outlook (having to ask people “do you open the outlook app on your desktop computer, or do you type outlook.com?” And still not getting a helpful answer back from non technical people SUCKS)

Things people know that don’t need to be renamed: Windows Office Azure Xbox Bing GitHub LinkedIn

adding a “Copilot” AI “buddy” to everything is a little confusing as-is, unless the end goal is for it to be a persistent buddy for the user no matter where they are at in the Microsoft ecosystem. But rebranding entire products is crazy
