Bye, Copilot: Microsoft is making Copilot a hands-free experience on Windows
These two fragments are contradictory. Copilot is not going away.
Microsoft is working on a de-activation phrase for Microsoft 365 Copilot, making the UX a hands-free experience.
These two fragments are contradictory. Copilot is not going away!
It's like the author doesn't understand the implications.
It is important to note that this UX modification relates to the Copilot app that is available to all Windows PCs, offering the Microsoft 365 Copilot experience. It does not refer to the built-in Copilot integration available just for Copilot+ PCs. This essentially means that the UX update will be available to a lot more customers since it encompasses all Windows 11 users and Windows 10 remainers, rather than just those with Windows 11 Copilot+ PCs.
Why do they make it sound as if it were a good thing?
it is. you need your hands for other things. ok copilot now make the hair long and dark. oh yeah yeah. thats it.
They only have themselves to blame by naming 50 different services Copilot...
Some Southwest pilot is going to enter the cockpit on an upcoming flight and fucking Clippy will be in the 2nd chair.
