We’re…never going to say any of that. It’s Microsoft 365, or 365 for short. Even that sounds stupid. Office is what people understand, 365 always requires explaining.
MS is so exhausting.
I'm still pissed off about Entra, what the hell does that mean?
Microsoft need to spend a less time renaming products with confusing names and more time fixing their applications so they actually run.
Entra is derived from the Latin intrare, meaning "to enter", which makes sense for access management/id verification software tbh.
I'm guessing you typoed, but it is intrare
Intro intras intrat
I did.
I don't talk to people about MS Office or do not know anyone particular who primarily works in it. But when talks touches writing an essay, spreadsheets or presentation - nobody says "In 365 I do this". It is always Word, Excel, Power Point. Nobody even unifies all these programs as 365. It always is Office. Baffles me why MS haven't figured out that literally no one calls it 365.
That's what I'm saying. And who the hell still uses Powerpoint? lmao
This is the same culture that decided that X was a better name than Twitter. These people are so far removed from regular society that this idiotic shit actually makes sense to them
They don't care what the peasants have to say.
No wait, we are the farm animals, not the peasants.
They care even less about what the animals have to make sounds about.
Meanwhile, I never even caught onto calling the shit "Office". I'm still out here shorthanding it to Word and Excel like a certified vaporwave pleb lmao
"But what about the rest of-" "I use Google Slides, actually. But yeah, I guess there's also Powerpoint..."
Lucky.
I’ve been subject to enterprise Microsoft products for so long.
