If you’re worried the metaverse will be all fun and games, fear not: Microsoft Corp. is taking its own stab at the idea, and it will have PowerPoint and Excel.

The company is adapting its signature software products to create a more corporate version of the metaverse — a concept promoted by Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg that promises to let users live, work and play within interconnected virtual worlds.

I feel we've reached the point where metaverse is gonna be thrown around as a buzzword until it's lost any meaning.

I'm just gonna begin referring to Animal Crossing as a metaverse from now on to confuse bystanders.

Yup, but I would expect MS to fare better in this than FB. They have a lot more experience with productivity apps and the like which FB doesn’t have. That’s going to be important if they want this to take off as a telework solution.
