"How many products does Microsoft have named 'Copilot'?

[joelvanderwerf@mastodon.social]

@graste "Copilot in Viva Glint" sounds like a rock opera.

[irina@critter.cafe]

@graste "copilot in viva glint" is just throwing syllables at the wall and adding "copilot"

[tuckerm@saltylike.us]

@Li @graste such a Microsoft thing to do. Come up with a new brand identity, then slap it on everything until it means nothing.

But if this means we're getting another video of a sweaty Steve Ballmer shouting, "The keeEeEeEeey to copilot is...
DEVELOPERS" then I'm all for it.

@graste

I thought it was one product.

Sir Slopilot, the long-lost cousin of Sir Lancelot, long lost because he fscked up any knightly combat he was involved in. Legend has it that he was resurrected hundreds of years later, with a minor name change, as a Microsoft product that fscked up any application it was involved in.

@graste Like an evjl virus infecting everything Microsoft.

@Dany @graste
"Everything everywhere all at once".

But don't forget: "For entertainment only"

[fonant@social.vivaldi.net]

@graste Same with "Outlook".

@graste It helps in that anything called co-pilot I can ignore.

[jt_rebelo@ciberlandia.pt]

@dpnash a knight so useless that he could only be used for entertainment purposes.
@benh @graste

[ndw@toot.wales]

@graste "For entertainment purposes only."

@slothrop @drmikepj @graste I had to work with both Lync and LINQ at one job, at least Microsoft spelled them differently

[glennseto@mastodon.social]

@graste Jesus with Copilot is my copilot.

[commonst@social.vivaldi.net]

@graste we have recently moved to MS products from Google at work, and MS' habit of using the same name for multiple things is the most confusing thing I have ever seen in the workplace. No one can figure out how to do anything. It's wild.

[palmandneedle@norden.social]

@graste this is Copilot an Copilot excellent Copilot idea.

Copilot.

[timsev@mastodon.social]

@graste In a Microsoft airliner, all passengers are copilots

[drmikepj@mastodon.social]

@andrewt @slothrop @graste gahh!

[kateyagi@denden.world]

@graste I already have this problem with explaining Google stuff to my parents. Luckily I've switched my dad to Linux and my mom is still using windows 8.

There's gotta be a name for this specific phenomena. It reminds me the motion dazzle camoflauge zebras have.
