I have been saying Office 365 up till now. Is there a difference?

Google named their work application bundle Workspace last year and ditched all branding of GSuite. Why is MSFT making this so confusing?????

What small business has the time to learn and understand the difference?

    Office 365 is now Microsoft 365. If you’re already an Office 365 subscriber, you don’t need to do anything to start enjoying Microsoft 365
