Too little, too late. I switched to Linux and I am NEVER going back. My computer runs so much more smoothly and coolly since making the switch.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Too late, I'm already in love with linux mint!
Why the fuck did I need Copilot in Notepad in the first place?
You didn’t, nor did I.
Lots of normies actually use it for taking notes or putting together smaller bits of information, it’s a lot faster to open than Word or LibreOffice.
MS probably wanted to capitalize on that to maximize opportunities for engagement with the product.
Of course, “need” is very debatable in the context of how consumers are having LLMs shoved in their faces everywhere they go.
There's still someone at Microsoft with common sense. That's probably too little too late.
For now.
