All with your permission and built upon the security of Windows 11.

So I can decline. Good.

You’re always in control of what Copilot Actions can do. Copilot Actions is turned off by default and you’re able to pause, take control or disable it at any time.

From what I'm reading it's just Cortana 2.0

“With Gaming Copilot (Beta)” you can let the AI play the games for you. /s 🤡

One more reason to restrict Windows to a VM and run Linux or some other *nix on the host for a baremetal OS if you want or need to run it at all.

Nice update!

...open O&O shut up and disable, disable, disable, disable. Sweet.

This is a threat?

Oh boy I can't wait to try out this new feature on my laptop that is forced to run Windows 11 because it's a Windows on Arm device and Samsung fucked it up so much that they didn't even include a device tree file in the BIOS so I can't even reinstall Windows. As if I didn't already block gemini using my DNS server and Bing and Microsoft Office servers as a whole. Who is this feature for anyway? Just for data collection for Microsoft? So they can leak more shit through copilot from the rest of the world and companies that are forced to use this dumb operating system? So they can auction off the data to 150 trackers and companies to make a bit more money for an operating system you sometimes have to pay money for? Man IT departments sometimes having to put more work in to disable copilot for Microsoft to also just go behind your fucking back and advertise to your users to use copilot on their phones instead. I hate this company with a burning passion in my heart and soul. They are just as evil and souless as Adobe when it comes to just stealing your data and I'm glad that there will be some effort to avoid Microsoft in the future from countries that is somewhat actually just happening. Google and their shit is just as bad though and I also wish them a quiet stay in fucking hell with gemini and whatnot and leaking of personal information already. I'm just done. No one wants AI and I'm tired of having it get shoved into everything.
