The Name of Microsoft Office is Changing After More Than 30 Years

The name of Microsoft Office will change starting next month, more than three decades after its introduction.

Name change time

The software package was first introduced by Bill Gates in 1988. It has seen several revisions since then, most notably the loss of the useful/inconvenient sidekick Clippy (which was an outrage, in my opinion).

And now, according to Microsoft, it appears that the time has come for a redesign with a new name, new symbol, and “new appearance.”

Office.com, the Office mobile app, and the Office app for Windows will soon change to become the Microsoft 365 app, with a new icon, a new look, and even more features, the company’s website explains.

“Over the last couple of years, Microsoft 365 has evolved into our flagship productivity suite, so we are creating an experience to help you get the most out of Microsoft 365.”

The new modifications will be implemented starting next month, with the rebranding of Office.com coming first, then the Office apps for Windows and mobile in January of 2019.

There won’t be any changes to the names of the individual programs, such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

Customers have also been told by Microsoft that their accounts won’t be affected by the move, and that the icon and name will automatically change as soon as the app is updated.

The software business has also stated that the Microsoft Office brand won’t disappear overnight because it will still be possible to acquire its Office bundle once through the Office 2021 and Office LTSC plans for the time being.

The news of the rebranding follows Microsoft’s decision to permanently discontinue Internet Explorer after nearly 30 years of service.

The once-popular web browser made its debut in the middle of the 1990s as a component of a Windows 95 add-on package.

The once-popular web browser made its debut in the middle of the 1990s as a component of a Windows 95 add-on package.

It was also the most widely used browser for a number of years; in fact, in 2003, 95 per cent of online users used it to access the internet.

But technology advances quickly, and a few short years later it had significantly lagged behind more modern, intelligent, and quick browsers.

Before Microsoft decided to replace it with Edge in 2015, it received one final upgrade in 2013.

But it wasn’t until June of this year that it was totally phased out, much like Clippy and Power Pup.
