    Also good to remember that Microsoft Copilot is not Github Copilot even if Microsoft now runs Github. And then there's apparently Microsoft Copilot in Azure, which is a devops tool. Clear as mud!

      Oh wow, I wish they'd adopt that strategy to clarify the mess that is .net, .net framework, .net core, .net standard, and .net.

    I’m trying to understand why the sentiment in many of the comments is one of near outrage. Is this based on the atavistic hatred of Microsoft or is there a cogent position on why this is a noxious implementation?

    I remember the time when Microsoft was rebranding everything as “.NET”. Lasted for a couple of years and then they moved on to a different hype.

    Anyone remember when Microsoft slapped .NET on everything?

    This is that.

    At some point the FTC and DOJ really need to split up these huge companies to stop this bundling of separate products to block out any competition.

        So that the next generation will never know there was such a thing as a local-first office suite free from invasive AI.

        Hundreds of millions of people are required by their employer to use Windows
        • bdangubic4 小时前
          yup, in which case this is a simple corporate issue. what does one care about what windows bundles together if this is OS and software provided to you for work?! if I was insane enough to work for such a company (am not) I would want them to bundle 100 things together, pile it on - flight attendant to the copilot to the copilot… :)

          Milions of soldiers are required by their employer to shoot and kill people.

          That their employer said so doesn't make it moral or ok. Using Windows is always wrong. Using Chrome is always wrong.

          • smt884 小时前
            It's childish, privileged, and detached from reality to tell people to quit literally their entire career to avoid using Windows or Chrome. There are industries (not just single companies) that use Windows.

            The degree of moral purity is only possible for people who are already rich or willing to be a burden on the rest of society by being unemployed.

            How are these claims any different than saying: Buying groceries in any supermarket chain is always wrong; buying an automobile from any of the large car makers is always wrong?

    Well excel is going to continue to excel.

    ...everything else in office is in danger of getting AI crammed into it diagonally whether it needs it or not.

      The competency crisis will also affect Excel down the line, just like it's affecting Boeing spaceships and planes and everything else the new demographics touch.

        People only use Word or PowerPoint to do a small part in a larger job.

        Many people live in Excel and spend much of their day-to-day in it. When Microsoft introduced the ribbon, it was the Excel crowd that was, by far, the loudest and most vocal. Excel has the Microsoft Excel World Championship, a legitimate Esport.

    An alternative to Microsoft Office is LibreOffice. It's pretty good:
