Also good to remember that Microsoft Copilot is not Github Copilot even if Microsoft now runs Github. And then there's apparently Microsoft Copilot in Azure, which is a devops tool. Clear as mud!
yup, in which case this is a simple corporate issue. what does one care about what windows bundles together if this is OS and software provided to you for work?! if I was insane enough to work for such a company (am not) I would want them to bundle 100 things together, pile it on - flight attendant to the copilot to the copilot… :)
How are these claims any different than saying: Buying groceries in any supermarket chain is always wrong; buying an automobile from any of the large car makers is always wrong?
It's childish, privileged, and detached from reality to tell people to quit literally their entire career to avoid using Windows or Chrome. There are industries (not just single companies) that use Windows.
The degree of moral purity is only possible for people who are already rich or willing to be a burden on the rest of society by being unemployed.
The competency crisis will also affect Excel down the line, just like it's affecting Boeing spaceships and planes and everything else the new demographics touch.

So that the next generation will never know there was such a thing as a local-first office suite free from invasive AI.

Milions of soldiers are required by their employer to shoot and kill people.
That their employer said so doesn't make it moral or ok. Using Windows is always wrong. Using Chrome is always wrong.
