People familiar with Microsoft's plans say that the company moving to streamline or remove certain Copilot integrations across in-box apps like Notepad and Paint in 2026, after pushback from users.
It would be nice if they change the Office app back to its old name, rather than M365 Copilot or whatever insane nonsense they picked. They should also review their corporate culture, and how the way they set performance rewards leads to insane unintended consequences across the company.

Office has been Microsoft 365 for five years now. They added “Copilot” to the name at some point last year, but it’s been M365 for a while.
Tbf 5 years ago is 2021 and I remember disliking Microsoft’s decisions even back then.
Oh, absolutely–but back then it was just normal, ordinary platform decay, not the sparkling AI hellscape of today.
