After 30 years, Microsoft is revamping Microsoft Office.

The final output won't change. Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and the rest won't disappear, so don't be concerned.

However, it won't go by the name Microsoft Office any longer. Instead, the IT giant revealed that it would change its name to Microsoft 365.

[{"selector":"#anim-5dc1f230-2539-454d-b636-a7d70d5c5683","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0d228d12-db2e-4c63-a205-eac8a11b81af","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 197.48153%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Office.com, the Office mobile app, and the Microsoft Office app for Windows will all get new branding and iconography over the next months.

[{"selector":"#anim-1bd09400-09f1-4e41-a963-11d3fe2d3a4d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-736a832d-1a42-4e45-99f8-c77a2d2ce5ff","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 168.45683%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The apps' functionality won't change, but there will be one significant difference: the cost.While Microsoft Office must be purchased once,
