It is one of the most pirated applications in history. That is about to end with the final goodbye to Microsoft Office. Let’s welcome Microsoft 365.
After three decades with us, microsoft-office say goodbye. From now on it will be called Microsoft 365. This will bring a series of changes in the apps and websites of use.
Released in 1990, Microsoft Office quickly became the office suite reference. It has always been very expensive, so home users managed to get it through unethical means.
In recent years microsoft has been dismantling Office as a local use suite, to convert it into a cloud subscription service within Microsoft 365. Office subscriptions were renamed office 365.
To the latest version that works in local mode without Internet, Office 2021deprived him of most of the new features of the cloud version, and in a surreal cover note, he spent more time hammering home its shortcomings and convincing us not to buy Office 2021 and subscribe to Office 365, than explaining what that it offered
Goodbye to Microsoft Office
If there was ambiguity before, today it is over. microsoft advertise that stop using the Office namewhich becomes Microsoft 365. As a consequence, the Office.com website, the free Office apps and the mobile version will be renamed Microsoft 365.
Of course, they do not change the name of the apps included in the suite: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. That will stay. But in the coming weeks you will receive new logos and a revamp of the interface, to remove references to Office.
And what about the offline version, the office suite Office 2021? Well, it officially becomes what Microsoft calls “legacy.” He’s going to keep selling her and he’s going to keep her stable and safe, but will not add any of the future 365 news, which on the other hand hardly had since its launch. New versions are not expected.
Microsoft Office says goodbyethe office suite reference. is now called Microsoft 365. Like so many other things, it is disappearing in favor of subscriptions, which are very advantageous for companies, but not so much for users.
