This has to be the idea of the century
Its still the same PR nightmare and no one wants your AI crapware Micro$oft!
It’s such a dumb name, that it makes me genuinely furious there there are people out there who have lied and impostered their way into positions where they can make such decisions, while having absolutely no clue at all what they’re even doing in the building.
Apple intelligence makes sense, because the abbreviation is AI. Pretty smart and simple if you think about it.
But Copilot is the kind of name Apple would choose for its product. Things like centre stage, launchpad, facetime… They’re all very descriptive and cool sounding names of their software products. Copilot is a great name that they’re throwing away along with Cortana because their crappy practices are crappy.
Why don’t they just call it Clippy?
Excellent to see that Microsoft’s product strategy continues to just be a flailing mess.
Microsoft try not to copy everything Apple does challenge: Impossible
At least “Apple Intelligence” is cute because the initials for it are A.I.
First big tech slapped “powered by AI!” on everything and now - a mere 2 years later - it has been exposed as nothing but a safety risk without a tangible benefit, they’re trying their best to hide it’s mere existence while still dumping it into everything. They just can’t help it.
Should have stayed with Cortana, at least that was a cool name.
I don’t think Microsoft is capable of not fumbling everything related to the Halo franchise.
I think staying with cortana and focusing on making that a useful feature would be a better strat. It would be cool to have a little cortana robot inside your computer helping you with various tasks.
No interest in Windows at all, but Copilot is actually a great name for what the product is supposed to be/being marketed as. Windows Intelligence sounds like a return to the very old-school long-winded style of Microsoft branding.
It sounds invasive. Like it’s a private intelligence agency and not a chat bot.
Agreed, Copilot was one of if not the best named AI I think. Why they would want to rebrand it to something so bland so quickly is beyond me
Maybe they didn’t want to tarnish the copilot brand with risky privacy invasion
I have no love for Microsoft but their naming is one of the worst parts… Let’s make a game console! We’ll call it Xbox!.. That sold well let make another! We’ll call it xbox360… Time for a refresh on the gaming console! We’ll call it Xbox one… Another refresh but this time let’s make two versions! We’ll call them Xbox one series s and x box one series s!
Or our popular ide is bloated and people are asking for a light weight ide… What’s our current ide called? Visual studio but alot of people abbreviate it to vs! Let’s call the new one vscode! Do they have anything in common or share functionality or shortcuts? No
Don’t get me started on windows… 3.1… 95…nt…98…2000…me…vista…7…8…10…11 like wtf???
At least Xbox made some sense, it was originally going to be called the DirectXbox, thankfully they shortened the name to something catchier.
Yes… And the sequels? I still don’t know if Xbox one s or x box one x is the higher end model…
Because it’s Microsoft and they have to compulsively rename things every few years.
Cortana was the best branding, though I understand only resonated within certain circles.
The virgin .NET:

You can call it 𝓜𝓮𝓻𝓭𝓮, but it’ll still taste like shit.
What’s the markdown for French font?
Best usage of French vocabulaire I’ve ever seen, and I’m from Canada
If they did this from the start it might’ve sounded fine, but now it just feels like they’re trend-chasing after Apple Intelligence…
I mean they’re already trend-chasing with the Windows 11 UI.
That lawsuit could hold up in court, and I wouldn’t be mad. Fuck MS
Fuck MS
Always has been
“Windows Intelligence” is an oxymoron, just like whoever came up with this rebranding.
Remember ‘Microsoft Works’?! The home version of ‘Office’ almost entirely incompatible with everything.
I think we can drop the oxy part
Ooh, can I use that App that used to be Remote Desktop and then they renamed it, hmm, what did they call it… oh right “Windows App”
that is pitiful
Wow where’d they get that jenius branding idea, I wonder.
Microsoft. Never changes.
They should invest a couple billion in it, rename it and cancel afterwards.
You’re thinking of Google, not Microsoft.
