Microsoft Office - Okay, this is a bundle of software relating to office work, released by Microsoft. Makes sense!
Microsoft Office 365 - This is also office software by Microsoft, but the 365 indicates it's a subscription service, because you're paying for it 365 days a year or something. This is contrasted to normal non-365 Office.

So, it just makes sense, this is a Microsoft subscription service where you pay for this "Copilot", right?
