Microsoft Office is getting a new name after 32 years

Various apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook still exist on the Windows operating system. But Microsoft Corporation has decided to change the name of this brand from 'Office' to 'Microsoft 365'. However, permanently licensed versions of other Office apps including Excel will still be sold under the name 'Office 2021'.

After that update, the apps will be renamed to 'Microsoft 365' with a new logo. While still looking very much like the English letter 'O', it will also look slightly different from the office logo. The latest Microsoft solution to add the 'Microsoft' name is Office. The platform's malware scanner 'Windows Defender' was renamed to 'Microsoft Defender' in mid-2019. The change adds to the name of eight Microsoft-branded solutions - Microsoft Threat Protection will be renamed Microsoft 365 Defender. Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection will be renamed Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.Office 365.
