Regular ppl i.e non-techies love the copilot integration into all office products. Since techies know better, they think microsoft messed up with the AI integration everywhere.

Even tech-adjacent folk in areas like product, user research and enterprise architecture seem to love it.
The bulk of the hands-on-keyboard time for those disciplines now seems to be using Copilot 365 as "fancy autocomplete" and "make this presentation better", Copilot Notebooks for deeper work, and coming up with all sorts of Copilot integrations and agents for managing email, Teams meetings and chats.
It's almost as if "copilot" has already become the generic term for "professional LLM", and many genuinely can't understand why us techies find it so limiting.

no regular person i have met loves AI integration with anything
3 of the 4 orgs I consult with have actively warned people not to use it, and/or to only use their approved AI tool (OpenAI/Claude/Gemini)
clippy 2.0 is not selling well

In consideration how much spying functionality was added with Windows 10 (which worsened even more with Windows 11), and that Microsoft made it insanely hard to install Windows 11 without creating some Microsoft account, it is actually very sensible that people don't want to upgrade to Windows 10/11, despite the technological improvements that these versions provide.
