- SchemaLoad 7mo agoMicrosoft has had a lot of naming blunders in the past but this has to be their worst. Copilot is currently, a tool to review PRs on github, the new name for windows cortana, the new name for microsoft office, a new version of windows laptop/pc, a plugin for VS code that can use many models, and probably a number of other things. None of these products/features have any relation to each other. So if someone says they use Copilot that could mean anything from they use Word, to they use Claude in VS Code.
- hsbauauvhabzb 7mo agoIt’s probably a useful feature: if it’s named copilot, assume it’s slop and avoid it.

- ValentineC 7mo ago"Microsoft Remote Desktop" was such a good and distinct name. RIP.
