    Microsoft try not to copy everything Apple does challenge: Impossible

    At least “Apple Intelligence” is cute because the initials for it are A.I.

    First big tech slapped “powered by AI!” on everything and now - a mere 2 years later - it has been exposed as nothing but a safety risk without a tangible benefit, they’re trying their best to hide it’s mere existence while still dumping it into everything. They just can’t help it.

      I think staying with cortana and focusing on making that a useful feature would be a better strat. It would be cool to have a little cortana robot inside your computer helping you with various tasks.

    No interest in Windows at all, but Copilot is actually a great name for what the product is supposed to be/being marketed as. Windows Intelligence sounds like a return to the very old-school long-winded style of Microsoft branding.

      Agreed, Copilot was one of if not the best named AI I think. Why they would want to rebrand it to something so bland so quickly is beyond me

        I have no love for Microsoft but their naming is one of the worst parts… Let’s make a game console! We’ll call it Xbox!.. That sold well let make another! We’ll call it xbox360… Time for a refresh on the gaming console! We’ll call it Xbox one… Another refresh but this time let’s make two versions! We’ll call them Xbox one series s and x box one series s!

        Or our popular ide is bloated and people are asking for a light weight ide… What’s our current ide called? Visual studio but alot of people abbreviate it to vs! Let’s call the new one vscode! Do they have anything in common or share functionality or shortcuts? No

        Don’t get me started on windows… 3.1… 95…nt…98…2000…me…vista…7…8…10…11 like wtf???

      The virgin .NET:

      Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
      Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
      

      The chad POSIX: LANG=C

    If they did this from the start it might’ve sounded fine, but now it just feels like they’re trend-chasing after Apple Intelligence…
