    This is not to be confused with the application called “OneNote”, that’s staying.

    You can always trust Microsoft to make two version of the same application and to have really bad naming.

      Hell, just talking about teams in Teams is confusing enough.

      And to make bad naming worse naming, since they switched Office’s name to 365 Copilot, not to be confused with 365 (office premium), Copilot (ChatGPT interface), or Copilot (Office text assistant). Office was a perfectly serviceable name they’d used for decades. It’s like Twitter rebranding themselves to a single latter like Y. Why would they throw away branding like that?

      People are liable to look for office, not find it, and go "oh, Microsoft doesn’t sell Word any more ☹️’

        Their enterprise products as well. Azure is now Entra, all the admin page rebrandings like defender, purview, intune, the URL changes, etc.

        Please just stick with a name already!!

          Azure is not Entra. AAD became Entra. They did it because AAD was becoming less about Azure and covering more things than directories. So a rebranding made sense.

          It’s a pretty dumb name, though. It doesn’t really mean much when you hear it, and it sounds too similar to other common words.

      And it’s a web/Electron app anyways. At least the O365-connected version is.

      I got so sick of their shit. I think there were two Teams and Skype versions too. Wtf is their problem?? I just stick with LibreOffice for everything now, but eyeing OnlyOffice because of their cloud service.

        Yes, there was Teams (classic) and Teams (new. There’s also Outlook (new) and Outlook (classic).

        There was the Snipping Tool and Snip & Sketch, it even said they were getting rid of Shipping Tool, but then they got rid of Snip & Sketch instead but the function of Snipping Tools is the same as Snip & Sketch.
