Just when you thought you had got your head around all the different versions of Microsoft Office, someone in their Marketing team thought it would be a fantastic idea to rename the products. Let’s be honest, you wouldn’t want anyone to buy the correct version for their organisation and / or family, now would you?

Here’s the official name changes:

• Office 365 Business Essentials will become Microsoft 365 Business Basic
• Office 365 Business Premium will become Microsoft 365 Business Standard
• Microsoft 365 Business will become Microsoft 365 Business Premium
• Office 365 Business will become Microsoft 365 Apps for business
• Office 365 ProPlus will become Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise.

Well, that’s not confusing: I can imagine some will think their products have been downgraded.

The names will be updated automatically from 21 April (National Kindergarten Day – ah yes, that makes sense…). You have been warned. Please don’t shoot us messengers.
