"A lot" is a great, quantifiable metric there, computer man! 👍👍👍📈💯🍾

The article mentions concrete numbers for the different Copilot products.

A Microsoft spokesperson tells TechCrunch that this number has grown to 150 million total.

150 million, what?

Individual users, prompts, prompts per second, accounts, installs, subscriptions bought?

Numbers on their own have no meaning. This is still rubbish trying to cosplay as information. Active copilot users means nothing until explained how the number is calculated.

"Last year, in its annual report, the company said it surpassed 100 million monthly active Copilot users, but that counted both commercial users and consumers. A Microsoft spokesperson tells TechCrunch that this number has grown to 150 million total. Again that includes commercial and consumer users."
