User: merrily uses Office, words in Word, excels at Excel.

Microsoft: Hey user, buy 365 because we want all your data.

User: fuck off I like Office.

Microsoft: ok then

Office is now 365

User: ugh FINE

Microsoft: Hey user, pls use Copilot we really splurged on that one.

User: bro I’m busy doing spreadsheets rn

Microsoft: ok then

I'm waiting for the Microsoft 365 Copilot Office Live Premium Pro Clippy Edition.

[–] WagnasT@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Wait, am I supposed to use Microsoft 365 Copilot Office Live Premium Pro Clippy Edition (new) or Microsoft 365 Copilot Office Live Premium Pro Clippy Edition? They're both installed...

I like it. Can you get Visual, Zune, and Azure in there somehow?

"hello everyone my name is Bill Ballmer and welcome to today's Visual tour of Microsoft 365 Coilot Office Live Premium Pro Clippy Edition! this is of course being broadcast to all your favourite Zune stations using the Power of Azure, and wow COM-fans I'm just about as hyped up for this demo as I can be. Let's get right into it, shall we?"
