      Ah, I see you’re a person of culture as well. Not really relevant though. They sure should be serious about GitHub, npm, and plenty of other things they run, too.

    Maybe having 81 different things called Copilot does not help if you want to get taken seriously https://teybannerman.com/strategy/2026/03/31/how-many-micros...

      Funny thing is that this is coming from human slop.

        Can't speak to that one, but Studio Copilot.net Ultimate Home Professional Visual Edition 365# Server 95 was one of the best pieces of software I've ever used.

    Like most things Microsoft, "gave up after six months" is accurate.
