Microsoft denies killing Office brand in favour of Microsoft 365 Copilot, says it renamed Office Hub to MS 365, later to MS 365 Copilot

Microsoft clarifies that it has not killed off the Office brand, despite renaming the Office app to Microsoft 365 Copilot. The confusion arose from the renaming of the Office Hub to Microsoft 365 and then to Microsoft 365 Copilot. The company has been transitioning away from the "Office" brand for consumer-facing products in favor of Microsoft 365. Microsoft emphasizes that Office apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint remain unchanged within the Microsoft 365 suite. The renaming of the app to Microsoft 365 Copilot was to integrate Copilot features into the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.
