To trick old people. They already try to mock Google's home page when you put in Google.com in there

Thanks for the link. God we do this all the time at work. I didn't know it had a name.
Everyone wants to contribute. Big things are scary and have the attention of the most senior staff. When a small thing hits the table, everyone has input and isn't afraid of looking stupid or getting called out when they feel ways about, say, the look of a company directory.
When big issues are on the table, they wait for the subject matter experts to chime in and contribute little for fear of getting getting called out for being trivial.
Always felt like there was middle ground there that was never tread.

They know they already have a Bing logo they could use, right?
Not that this is out of character for Microsoft. Office became Office 365, which became Microsoft 365… unless you search for it online, because then all three names show up.
Likewise, Bing Chat became Copilot… but then the main Office launcher became Microsoft 365 Copilot, so there are two Copilot apps on people's PCs and it's not immediately clear what the difference is. (This joins the two OneNote apps and two Outlook apps.)
And, they finally finished retiring the MSN brand and changed everything over to "Microsoft Start" (not to be confused with the iconic "Start" button
)… only to make a new MSN logo and change it all back.Meanwhile, there's a Bing app for Android that has an almost identical feature set to Edge, but different branding and a different UI. There's also an MSN app, which… has almost an identical feature set as the other two apps, but a slightly different UI to the Bing app.

Worse. Office.com now takes me to m365.cloud.microsoft which as of today now takes me to a fucking Copilot chat window. Ofc no way to disable it because gee why would anyone want to do that?
