    It’s also worth noting that there are approximately 1.5 billion Windows users worldwide, which means just over 1% of them are using Copilot, a tool that’s now a Windows default app. This is quite scary from Microsoft’s point of view,

    If’s even more damning if you consider that a large percentage of those 1.5bn Windows users is pretty much forced to use Windows at work, and Copilot is being shoved down their throats forcibly by Microsoft. And despite all that monopoly position abuse, Microsoft still manages to make Copilot a spectacular failure.

    Spy/bloat-ware that comes pre-installed and can’t be uninstalled or even disabled for longer than the current session. Literally nobody asked for this. Many of us hate onedrive for all the same reasons.

    PC users don’t like walled gardens. We’re not Apple cultists. We’re not brand loyal. Microsoft makes the default Operating System we’re forced to use. That’s their whole job. If they fart around chasing trends and lose billions, that’s their own problem. A skill issue. A real “don’t quit your day job” situation.

    Learn the lesson. And don’t pour billions into chasing the next scam. LLMs are today’s NFTs and the fad is fading just as quickly.
