The Copilot is like the Start button,” Nadella explains. “It becomes the orchestrator of all your app experiences. So for example, I just go there and express my intent and it either navigates me to an application or it brings the application to the Copilot, so it helps me learn, query and create — and completely changes, I think, the user habits.”
So it’s like search on iOS. Not always what I want but if it makes windows search useful then maybe it won’t be so bad.
Seriously, I almost never navigate the menu anymore. I hit the windows key on my keyboard and start type the app name, or setting I want to change, then hit enter when the autocomplete is right. Gmail came along with labels replacing folders, then iTunes and iPhoto organizing your media by its metadata. I would hate going back to having to organize folders and menus again.
yeah they didn’t say they were removing the start menu, they just said the new feature will be as central to the user experience. and predictably every reply is “lol STUPID MICRO$HIT”
They won’t. They do however want to stay relevant and will float things like this just to create talk about Microsoft and Windows.
You know what’s really interesting to talk about? How fast it was for me to setup Chimeraos on a PC with an Intel GPU and hook it up to my tv and Xbox wireless controller USB dongle… First boot and I login to Steam and BAM! Grab that controller. Time for couch gaming
Windows is nowhere near that good or easy as a game station for coach gaming.
Well, my laptop’s already there, but i really don’t feel like dealing with system reinstallation on my games pc. It’ll be much easier for me to just stick with W10 for the next few months, and then jump ship, seeing as the upgrade i have planned won’t be using any components from my dekstop.
Windows 7 is my last Windows. Windows 10 is my current Windows. Looks like a safe bet to keep skipping at least one version. I did also go from XP to 7.
Microsoft why are you trying to pull an Elon and destroy your own brand, stop that – what, after all, has a dedicated keyboard key on Windows keyboards, and has for decades?
They’re not. It’s just the author’s “creativity”. There’s no indication of plans to change the start button. Still, they could change the start button, which apparently warrants a misleading article people actually discuss.
they were corralled into the top of the start menu
Sounds like they didn’t try to “kill of the start menu”, then.
And… Did you not read the article?
I… Did read the article which is why I know it’s just got a clickbait headline and there are no plans to replace the start button. Did… you not read the article?
I’m here for it as a snobby Linux user. Let’s see how much the average windows user is willing to let their experience be degraded before they finally tap out and try an operating system that isn’t pure trash

They’re not even being subtle about it:
