    Is this like the previous theory that Windows 12 would be subscription based?

    “The Copilot is like the Start button,” Nadella explains. “It becomes the orchestrator of all your app experiences. So for example, I just go there and express my intent and it either navigates me to an application or it brings the application to the Copilot, so it helps me learn, query and create — and completely changes, I think, the user habits.”

    Saying “copilot is like the start button” is not saying “copilot will replace the start button”, the article is dishonest clickbait and stupid.

    This is just MS taking another kick at Cortana, this time powered by LLM generative AI.

      Remember those times when Microsoft said that Windows 10 would be the last version of Windows, as it will get to a free “Windows-as-a-Service” model? My ass, now

        I can’t find the words to describe how absolutely fucking disgusted I am with the fact that we don’t even have 11 out in full swing and they’re talking about selling us 12 after the “10 would be the last” bullshit.

        For fucks sake microturd, get your shit together and stop trying to bleed everyone dry… We know literally every other company in the world is doing that, but it doesn’t make it right… :/

        They didn’t. That was an “evangelist” talking to Devs one time and the media ran with it.
        They didn’t seem to dissuade anyone of the notion, but they never repeated it officially.

      This post needs to be somehow tagged as misleading. Too many people are going to accept the headline at face value.
