Legit had somebody angry with me at work because their copilot button wasn’t showing in Outlook… Like what? If you can’t even write your own emails why are you even employed? “What would you say… You do here?”
Oh, you’re right. Without “App” though, that slipped through because someone wrote “the Microsoft 365 Copilot app” (a string you’ll see in official MS texts) in title case.
For the desktop app that only opens links to the webapp versions of Office
They did not fucking rename Microsoft Office. It’s dumb enough without everyone uncritically parroting the misleading clickbait.
Why in the fuck was there even a desktop app to just open the webapp links? That’s dumb as shit! Why the fuck would anyone care about it enough to rename it? That’s even dumber! Why would…
You get the picture.
The reality isn’t as bad, while simultaneously being even more dumb.
Microsoft 365 Copilot App
That’s the official name

That makes it semi-official. If Microslop put that on their official website for the product, that makes it official to a degree.

Well, you’re half right, except Microsoft did rename Office years ago to “Microsoft 365”.
Edit: ignore the “Microslop” spelling. I have a uBlock filter enabled.
I would have hoped the context made it clear that I’m talking about the claim they renamed it to Copilot.
Nothing “half right” about it, but thanks for the pedanticness I guess.
