      I think staying with cortana and focusing on making that a useful feature would be a better strat. It would be cool to have a little cortana robot inside your computer helping you with various tasks.

      I don’t think Microsoft is capable of not fumbling everything related to the Halo franchise.

      As always, Microsoft is always one step behind apple.

      At least apple intelligence was a little clever, its abbreviation is still “AI”

      But windows intelligence? That just sounds fucking stupid. As an operating system windows is not known for its intelligence. Stupid slow, bloated, spying sack of shit software.

        They should’ve looked at their star software product: Microsoft access.

        Now presenting: Access Intelligence

    No interest in Windows at all, but Copilot is actually a great name for what the product is supposed to be/being marketed as. Windows Intelligence sounds like a return to the very old school long-winded style of Microsoft branding.

      Agreed, Copilot was one of if not the best named AI I think. Why they would want to rebrand it to something so bland so quickly is beyond me

        I have no love for Microsoft but their naming is one of the worst parts… Let’s make a game console! We’ll call it Xbox!.. That sold well let make another! We’ll call it xbox360… Time for a refresh on the gaming console! We’ll call it Xbox one… Another refresh but this time let’s make two versions! We’ll call them Xbox one series s and x box one series s!

        Or our popular ide is bloated and people are asking for a light weight ide… What’s our current ide called? Visual studio but alot of people abbreviate it to vs! Let’s call the new one vscode! Do they have anything in common or share functionality or shortcuts? No

        Don’t get me started on windows… 3.1… 95…nt…98…2000…me…vista…7…8…10…11 like wtf???

          NT was a fully seperate product from 95 and 98, using a different kernel. 95 -> 98 -> Me was the old kernel, NT -> 2000 -> XP -> Vista -> 7 -> 8 -> 10 -> 11 is the other line. Me was a play on Millenium Edition, so that line was just numbered by year. The NT series names are a bit wonky, though. The reason for skipping 9 involves legacy program support and bad coding practices from ye olde programmers. 7 was kind of an arbitrary number to begin with, though.

            7 was the version if you only counted the “best ofs” Windows 3, 95, XP, Vista, 7.

            Yeah, I understand the whole different kernal thing but that’s the type of thing that the average consumer shouldn’t have to know to follow your program naming scheme.

          At least Xbox made some sense, it was originally going to be called the DirectXbox, thankfully they shortened the name to something catchier.

        Maybe they didn’t want to tarnish the copilot brand with risky privacy invasion

          Just so I’m the first one to utter the phrase:

          "We have credible reports from Windows Intelligence that a crime has been committed, your computer is going to restart. "

    I mean that’s standard practice. If a feature, product, or company develops a bad reputation, just rename it. If your market is large enough there will be enough people not paying attention to not realize it’s the same product.

    Microsoft try not to copy everything Apple does challenge: Impossible

    At least “Apple Intelligence” is cute because the initials for it are A.I.
