His frustration with Microsoft\u2019s dizzying rebranding habits and the frequent naming errors in the community sparked the idea for this resource.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft rebrands products at a rapid pace. For example, &#8220;Copilot&#8221; began as &#8220;Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365&#8221; and is now &#8220;Microsoft 365 Copilot.&#8221; There\u2019s also a consumer version simply called &#8220;Microsoft Copilot&#8221; and &#8220;Bing Chat,&#8221; which later became part of the Copilot suite. Strant\u2019s site helps users differentiate these names, providing clarity on the ever-evolving terms.<\/p>\n<p>Strant\u2019s site also clarifies terms like &#8220;Entra ID,&#8221; the new name for &#8220;Azure AD&#8221; after Microsoft changed it to distinguish it from Active Directory. He tackles classic terminology errors, like confusing &#8220;on-premise&#8221; with the correct &#8220;on-premises,&#8221; to ensure IT conversations stay precise.<\/p>\n<p>As a Microsoft MVP and neurodiverse individual, Strant finds such errors particularly distracting, and he knows many others share this sentiment. His site aims to help content creators stay up to date with Microsoft\u2019s branding, offering a reliable resource for error-free communication.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Strant created a GitHub repository to track typos and incorrect Microsoft 365 logos.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about a brand consistency role for Microsoft, Strant enthusiastically endorsed the idea. Until then, his site offers much-needed clarity to users trying to keep pace with Microsoft\u2019s frequent rebrands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve ever lost track of Microsoft\u2019s constant product name changes, Microsoft MVP Loryan Strant has created a helpful new site, Let Me Correct That for You.
