But... they made it a button on the keyboard? Microsoft sucks. They literally made an advertisement on the keyboard and their product still can't take off. Install Linux.

That button isn't for m365 copilot, but windows copilot which is an entirely different thing and yes that confusion hasn't helped Microsoft here. Also see GitHub copilot.

But I heard github copilot is actually substantially useful and successful. Idk the other two

I have become convinced that Microsoft is a company with no actual direction going off of pure momentum from early wins. It's actually crazy how bad this shit is.

Good thing they are all first-party software so they all integrate nicely together. Get an email that M365 Copilot read and creates a task that GitHub Copilot can implement! Right?

Mate, I've had outlook begging me to use copilot and the second I do it just tells me it can't read my inbox or my calendar. What is even the fucking point.

Damn if that isn't the most "Microsoft" interaction I've ever seen

Lol, That's even worse. Just truly awful branding.
