I'm surprised they didn't name it Clippy.
Nha, Links was a lot better anyway 
The 'C' in copilot stands for Clippy

Hush yer gob, ya bloody robotic arse!
The C in Clippy stands for clown.
HE WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP
Paperclips should hold pieces of paper together. Everything else is Out Of Spec
I thought they were made to eject SIM-cards and hard reset routers?!
I liked the little yellow dog better.
I run Windows 10 Enterprise for this reason - because unlike Home, you can turn any of their bullshit off with GPOs. But I’m tired of protecting myself against their OS, and once Win10 is EOL, I’ll be going to Linux after using Windows since the 3.1 days.
I’m going to have to somehow figure out how to switch my uncle’s office to Linux.
I don’t even know if I’ll be able to pull it off with some of the stuff they use and it would cost way too much money to migrate. I definitely don’t have what it takes to do a job like that alone nowadays.
Are they going to ask or just do whatever they want with my computer?
This is why I don't date Microsoft employees.
my computer?
"Your computer?" -- Microsoft probably
It certainly feels that way. I uninstall all the stuff I don't want and the bastards put it right back in the next update, alongside some new crap I didn't ask for.

There is nothing wrong with your computer. Do not attempt to adjust Windows. We are controlling Windows. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the firewall. We will control Windows Update. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur, or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: There is nothing wrong with your computer. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to the outer limits.
When you use a closed source proprietary OS like Windows, you're renting, not buying. If you want to own, use Linux.
You have to spell no in ASCII.
Jokes on them, my win10 setup won't even update anymore. Can't be bothered to do a reinstall.
I reinstalled win10 yesterday on a laptop that iam selling. The windows app store doesn't work out of the box anymore. Just errorcodes. Its such a joke.
I'm in the same boat. My copy can't see the bootloader, even though it's booting >.<
Linux is coming, as soon as I can be bothered
You mean Windows ~~11~~ 12?
"I'm gonna pick the penguin" - Mutahar.
They already put it into Edge.
I actively hate co-pilot on my work computer. I really don't want it doing the same stuff Cortana did. Popping up when I didn't need or ask for it. I just want to search. Leave me alone.
