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.

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

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.

[–] vrek@programming.dev 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes... And the sequels? I still don't know if Xbox one s or x box one x is the higher end model....

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Probably the more expensive one.

Granted but still bad naming convension. In comparison which is better Playstation 4 or Playstation 5?
