@yacineMTB Been super helpful with a toddler and a newborn, I can rip a prompt, close the laptop screen and the let the host side continue to work. Reconnect quickly at any time. Pick up where I left off on my laptop, tablet, phone.
@yacineMTB I started using a super lightweight laptop without a beefing gpu, put arch on it, and I’m running moonlight / sunshine streaming. Battery life is insane. So I remote into an always on environment, have no latency 4k connection to a beefy system. Even run client on a tablet
@imkieransmith Fantastic work. Can you give a bulleted overview of your setup? Is this with gpt 5.4 or opus? What are you doing for models and animations?
Microsoft has now renamed this product four times in four years and each name is worse than the last.
Microsoft Office (1990-2022). Thirty-two years of brand equity. Everyone on Earth knew what it meant. Your grandmother knew what it meant. “I need to open Office” required zero explanation in any language.
Then: Microsoft 365. Then: Microsoft 365 (Office), because even Microsoft couldn’t stop using the old name. Then: Microsoft 365 Copilot. The app icon is now identical to the Copilot chatbot icon with a tiny “M365” badge in the corner. Users are opening the AI chatbot when they want Excel.
“Office 365” still has double the search traffic of “Microsoft 365.” “Microsoft 365 Copilot” has virtually none.
The reason this keeps happening is the same reason it will keep getting worse. Microsoft sells Copilot to Wall Street, not to the person trying to open a spreadsheet. Satya Nadella told investors 70% of Fortune 500 companies “adopted” Copilot. The actual conversion rate, the share of employees with access who choose to use it, is 35.8%. ChatGPT’s is 83.1%. When workers have access to multiple AI tools and can pick freely, 8% choose Copilot. 70% choose ChatGPT.
Copilot’s paid subscriber market share dropped from 18.8% to 11.5% in six months. Gemini passed it in November 2025.
So Microsoft did the only thing left: rebrand the world’s most recognized productivity suite after the AI product nobody is voluntarily using, and raise the subscription price to pay for it.
This is the same company that rebranded MSN to “Microsoft Start” in 2021 and quietly reverted to MSN three years later after everyone ignored the new name. The same company that renamed Microsoft Remote Desktop to “Windows App.”
400 million paid seats. The switching cost is so high that Microsoft could name it Microsoft Copilot Clippy 365 AI Turbo and most companies would renew anyway.
