This has to be the idea of the century
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.
The virgin .NET:
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture; Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;The chad POSIX:
LANG=CI really enjoy working with Microsoft .NET 8.0 LTS ASP.NET Core Blazor Web Assembly
It sounds invasive. Like it’s a private intelligence agency and not a chat bot.
lol I didn’t think like that at first, but now it’ll stay in my mind.
Just so I’m the first one to utter the phrase:
"We have credible reports from Windows Intelligence that a crime has been committed, your computer is going to restart. "
Perfectly on brand for Windows then lol
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
Because it’s Microsoft and they have to compulsively rename things every few years.
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???
NT was a fully seperate product from 95 and 98, using a different kernel. 95 -> 98 -> Me was the old kernel, NT -> 2000 -> XP -> Vista -> 7 -> 8 -> 10 -> 11 is the other line. Me was a play on Millenium Edition, so that line was just numbered by year. The NT series names are a bit wonky, though. The reason for skipping 9 involves legacy program support and bad coding practices from ye olde programmers. 7 was kind of an arbitrary number to begin with, though.
7 was the version if you only counted the “best ofs” Windows 3, 95, XP, Vista, 7.
At least Xbox made some sense, it was originally going to be called the DirectXbox, thankfully they shortened the name to something catchier.
Yes… And the sequels? I still don’t know if Xbox one s or x box one x is the higher end model…
Probably the more expensive one.
Cortana was the best branding, though I understand only resonated within certain circles.
Microsoft’s naming strategy is just the American Economics wheel from South Park, but with names on it. Of all the big tech companies, they are easily the fucking worst at naming shit.
You can call it 𝓜𝓮𝓻𝓭𝓮, but it’ll still taste like shit.
What’s the markdown for French font?
It’s not markdown, those are different unicode characters. https://cursivegenerator.net/
Best usage of French vocabulaire I’ve ever seen, and I’m from Canada
Wow where’d they get that jenius branding idea, I wonder.
Microsoft. Never changes.
It’s such a dumb name, that it makes me genuinely furious there there are people out there who have lied and impostered their way into positions where they can make such decisions, while having absolutely no clue at all what they’re even doing in the building.
Apple intelligence makes sense, because the abbreviation is AI. Pretty smart and simple if you think about it.
But Copilot is the kind of name Apple would choose for its product. Things like centre stage, launchpad, facetime… They’re all very descriptive and cool sounding names of their software products. Copilot is a great name that they’re throwing away along with Cortana because their crappy practices are crappy.
It came from github copilot, which quite literally codes alongside you, like a copilot.
And also, isn’t Copilot in other MS products besides Windows as well? Even if not now, it could be in the future. This naming would make it limiting to expand.
Let me just windows app into my computer to see if it’s still called copilot.
that is pitiful
So swap “Apple” for “Microsoft” in the name, huh? Yeah, that’ll work.
Sometimes a great idea just comes to you out of nowhere at all!
Its still the same PR nightmare and no one wants your AI crapware Micro$oft!
Microsoft try not to copy everything Apple does challenge: Impossible
At least “Apple Intelligence” is cute because the initials for it are A.I.
They should invest a couple billion in it, rename it and cancel afterwards.
You’re thinking of Google, not Microsoft.
No, M$. The whole Windows Phone 7 Series or whatever it was called at some point saga
Microsoft will rename it, add something else in its place but let the old things linger in a zombie-like state.
Lost count of how many separate Skype/Zoom apps there are now.
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.
Excellent to see that Microsoft’s product strategy continues to just be a flailing mess.
Copilot is fantastic branding tbh. It’s like the MBAs want change for the sake of keeping their jobs.
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…
That lawsuit could hold up in court, and I wouldn’t be mad. Fuck MS
Fuck MS
Always has been
I mean they’re already trend-chasing with the Windows 11 UI.
