Microsoft isn't removing Copilot from Windows 11, it's just renaming it(www.neowin.net)

I spun up an old laptop the other day and it has Windows 10 on it. I can't believe how snappy and fast that old laptop felt in comparison to what I've been experiencing on Windows 11.

Especially when you consider that the old laptop has inferior hardware to my newer one with twice the RAM.

I just hate using windows at this point.

So they're reshuffling the branding again. At this rate they'll rename it three more times before most people figure out what it does.

Seems like what Apple does with Writing Assistant. At least in this case, it’s opt-in. You have to click. I don’t run Windows so I don’t know if this implementation is vastly superior or not.

If you turn off Apple Intelligence, it’s one switch and features like that are gone from every single location.

I had no clue that you could switch it off. Thanks.

> At the start of the year, Microsoft generated a lot of goodwill among Windows 11 fans when it announced its big plan to fix the operating system in 2026

The only thing generated was boatloads of incredulity and some laughs.

Yeah, I remember the same. Also, "Windows 11 fans" sounds like an oxymoron.

Might be considered "Windows 11 Hostages" instead given they've dropped support for using anything else.

It could relate to the amount of *pu and system fans needed to run so much bloatware :)

The copilot executable and the edge executable are actually the same! It looks at argv[0] to decide which to show you. You can move mscopilot.exe to msedge.exe, it still opens edge. And vice versa.

Needs more 'Clippy'.

Live Clippy sounds very creepy.

Microsoft is collapsing under the weight of their own bloat.
