"How many products does Microsoft have named 'Copilot'? I mapped every one."

@graste it’s the new Windows.

@graste I wanted to add that they also have XBox Copilot, which is a great accessibility feature and NOT related to AI, but...it seems they have renamed that one to "Xbox Controller Assist". I assume not to...erm...*looks at the image*...cause any confusion.

@graste what this also demonstrates is that #Microsoft has waaay too many "products". Maybe they should focus and a few ones and actually make them work properly (
) rather than aiming for a total monopoly of crap?I know... wishful thinking, I know

@graste They differentiated in 75 flavors the things that will go wrong. Typical from Microsoft.

@graste I asked Copilot and it said that the chart is missing Copilot for Microsoft Copilot

@graste My favorite part is that Copilot may not work as intended, and is for entertainment purposes only.

@graste @simonzerafa for decades Microsoft famously falls in love with a name or prefix/suffix and re/names *everything* to use it. Remember "Visual" everything? "Active", as in Desktop, X, Server Pages, Directory? Remember the ridiculously un-searchable ".NET"? Forefront for a while in there. Everything was "Core" for a minute. Azure of course. I know I'm missing a few

@graste Microsoft just needs to rename itself Copilot and call it done. They won't, because that would be corporate suicide, but a monkey can dream.

@elduvelle @graste This is what happened to Intel. They spread themselves to thin which made their main product line suffer.
