    My problem with it is it's an advertisement for a SASS service.

    i have it on mine and i actually use it. i don’t see what’s the big deal; it’s tucked over in the far bottom right of the screen out of the way and it’s not intrusive.

      That’s all cool and good. What Microsoft needs to be doing is not adding shit to people’s PCs without their consent and make it easier to remove them (preferably during installation)

        i mean i had to go in and add copilot to my taskbar manually and i can go into taskbar settings at any time and turn it off.

      Screen corners are prime real estate. They have infinite size beyond the screen, allowing you to quickly fling the pointer to them. It’s a big reason things like app menus or the Mac’s Mission Control are accessed by the screen corners.

      Its not the worst, and If I’m honest its not as annoying as the desktop view button, I hated that thing since day 1

      “Report”.

      It’s just a blog post quoting Reddit comments.

    I want the calendar agenda flyout back on my taskbar

    It’s not clippy and if it replaces the pointless error diagnosis system currently running I’m all for it. I’ve had no issues with it as a product in ides just basically advanced spell check.

    I don’t hate copilot but I seldom use it enough to justify having a taskbar button for it

      The fact that owner of the device has to do tbis and it resets after major updates is clown world.

      People let this bullshit get way too far.

        you can also delay windows updates that change things.

        At least it’s better than Mac. With Mac the user has 0% control over what happens on their system. Apple can just yoink anything you have off your system whenever they want. Software, files, anything.

    I use it to ask questions I’d otherwise google, I also had it tell me some jokes and also present a list of interview questions for a candidate in our field.

    That’s cool and all, but I do one my “show desktop” button back.
