Oh I'm sure it will be radically different.
I expect they will rename windows to "Copilot" or Windows Copilot" just like they have done with most of their other products like Microsoft 365. I'm not even joking.
They just seem so hell-bent on destroying their existing branding, even more than they normally are. Looks like they have a huge fear of missing that AI boat and becoming irrelevant.
At the same time they are building a catalogue that's so difficult to understand because everything is called Copilot now. I've even seen their own sales people get confused about what's what.
- lurk2 2y agoCopilot is sort of a better name for an operating system powered by AI than Windows. Personally I don't care what they name their services because I've already determined I want nothing more to do with them.
- wkat4242 2y agoIt's not powered by AI though. It's just got a bunch of teasers and upselling ads for AI cloud services. Doesn't really have much to do with the OS. The same with office, there was no point in renaming it to Copilot especially because the standard license doesn't even come with the Copilot features in office.
