RmDebArc_5"Windows Intelligence": Microsoft may drop Copilot in major AI rebranding
Richardthat is pitiful
Snot Flickerman“Windows Intelligence” is an oxymoron, just like whoever came up with this rebranding.
terminhellI think we can drop the oxy part
simpleIf 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.
I feel like they copied Gnome and KDE more than they copied Apple there.
That lawsuit could hold up in court, and I wouldn’t be mad. Fuck MS
TuxFuck MS
Always has been
Wow where’d they get that jenius branding idea, I wonder.
Microsoft. Never changes.
KokeshThey should invest a couple billion in it, rename it and cancel afterwards.
You’re thinking of Google, not Microsoft.
Microsoft will rename it, add something else in its place but let the old things linger in a zombie-like state.
No, M$. The whole Windows Phone 7 Series or whatever it was called at some point saga
LuciIt will be as successfull as the twitter to x rebranding
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.
The virgin .NET:
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture; Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;The chad POSIX: LANG=C
I really enjoy working with .NET 8.0 ASP.NET Core Blazor Server
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
Uninvited GuestCortana was the best branding, though I understand only resonated within certain circles.
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…
Default_DefectProbably the more expensive one.
Granted but still bad naming convension. In comparison which is better Playstation 4 or Playstation 5?
VindictiveJudgeNT was a fully seperate product from 95 and 98, using a different kernel. 95 -> 98 -> Me was the old kernel, NT -> 2000 -> XP -> Vista -> 7 -> 8 -> 10 -> 11 is the other line. Me was a play on Millenium Edition, so that line was just numbered by year. The NT series names are a bit wonky, though. The reason for skipping 9 involves legacy program support and bad coding practices from ye olde programmers. 7 was kind of an arbitrary number to begin with, though.
7 was the version if you only counted the “best ofs” Windows 3, 95, XP, Vista, 7.
Yeah, I understand the whole different kernal thing but that’s the type of thing that the average consumer shouldn’t have to know to follow your program naming scheme.
clifI just enjoy that I can call them “xbone”
In addition to ME and NT, they also had CE.
CEMENT.
Maybe they didn’t want to tarnish the copilot brand with risky privacy invasion
It sounds invasive. Like it’s a private intelligence agency and not a chat bot.
lol I didn’t think like that at first, but now it’ll stay in my mind.
Just so I’m the first one to utter the phrase:
"We have credible reports from Windows Intelligence that a crime has been committed, your computer is going to restart. "
Perfectly on brand for Windows then lol
You can call it 𝓜𝓮𝓻𝓭𝓮, but it’ll still taste like shit.
Best usage of French vocabulaire I’ve ever seen, and I’m from Canada
What’s the markdown for French font?
It’s not markdown, those are different unicode characters. cursivegenerator.net
By the way, you can view the markdown source of comments and text posts. There’s a “view source” button that looks like a document icon on the stock Lemmy UI.
Sometimes a great idea just comes to you out of nowhere at all!
Microsoft’s naming strategy is just the American Economics wheel from South Park, but with names on it. Of all the big tech companies, they are easily the fucking worst at naming shit.
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”
You mean “Microsoft Terminal Services Client”?
Should have stayed with Cortana, at least that was a cool name.
FizzI 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.
I don’t think Microsoft is capable of not fumbling everything related to the Halo franchise.
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.
PJBExcellent to see that Microsoft’s product strategy continues to just be a flailing mess.
Why don’t they just call it Clippy?
Or artificial intelligence explorer. AIE for short. And give it a blue icon of an E or something.
Or reprise their old assistants from XP.
At least a “computer Wizard” would make them stand out compared to ChatGPT in a funny box.
jagged_circleBecause IM NOT WRITING A FUCKING LETTER
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.
nawaAnd also, isn’t Copilot in other MS products besides Windows as well? Even if not now, it could be in the future. This naming would make it limiting to expand.
Microsoft is famous for nonsensical product and feature renamings. There is Microsoft 365 Copilot in their enterprise offerings, which integrates well with Copilot in Windows. And there is a tool to build your own Copilots with customized logic and data sources.
Let me just windows app into my computer to see if it’s still called copilot.
It came from github copilot, which quite literally codes alongside you, like a copilot.
Its still the same PR nightmare and no one wants your AI crapware Micro$oft!
Yeah I love that it’s just a shitty product, but no, go on try fixing it with ✨ rebranding ✨
This is not only for Microsoft, AI is overhyped as a whole.
