The funny thing is, that microsoft has been doing that for years now and people just ate it, including forced updates, changes to default applications, limitations on hardware etc. It’s kinda funny that copilot is the drop that made the barrel spill.

Comment from the source:
Microsoft poisoned their own well with all the changes they have been forcing on users lately. The update nagging, resetting the default browser to edge, the the ads in windows features, and integrating bing into the start menu have all trained users that when Microsoft starts pushing something new, it probably isn’t great and should just be ignored, like ads in phone apps.
That ^. So much that.
Also, the copilot llm itself sucks. Local models are neat within their limitations, and they’d be even better if Microsoft made them trainable/customizable, did better RAG, or whatever, but they just shoved a bad thing down user’s throats, and now they’ve poisoned another well.

I’ve been neutral with Microsoft upgrades for years. Annoying, but not enough to want to change.
But after Cortana, I’m done in with upgrades. I’m sitting on Win10 forever until SteamOS fully works for every game i own.

It drives me insane when I randomly get Microsoft telling me to finish setting up my PC like 5 years into owning it and all its trying to do is get me to reset my default browser to edge. Fucking annoying as shit.
