🗑️ Microsoft Edge to auto-launch Copilot on every Outlook link
"This experience helps users quickly understand content, take action with fewer steps, and get more value from Copilot while extending productive browsing time in Edge."

I case anyone is worried about AI taking junior support rôles because it can actually do the job, rather than because management doesn’t care about retention:
When I encountered a cascade of #Azure bugs last weekend (all of which could have been avoided by half an hour of thinking when implementing their control plane), it recommended #Copilot to help me. I tried it, mostly on the basis that it would cost #Microsoft money and they’d annoyed me by not doing basic QA on their products. My experience:
- It was not able to diagnose the problem.
- It was slow to respond.
- It sent me to pages that didn’t exist.
- It told me to use UI elements that didn’t exist when it sent me to pages that did.
A complete waste of my time and their money. If they’d spent half as much money on QA for Azure tooling that they spent on Azure Copilot, they’d have had a far bigger impact on customer experience (and that impact would have been positive).

Something I'll never understand: Why did Microsoft replace the very useful right control key with their useless Copilot key? Couldn't they just have replaces the equally useless Caps Lock key? Only total lunatics yell in all caps. Are they all lunatics at Microsoft's Copilot team?

M365 Copilot – Das Fass ist übergelaufen
Schluss, Ende, Aus. Ich habe jetzt M365 Copilot endgültig gelöscht. Warum? Es kann nicht mal mehr Dokumente von Microsoft 365, the artist formerly known as Office, bearbeiten. Damit ist es komplett sinnlos geworden und von Copilot im Sumpf versenkt worden. Ich will ein paar Zahlen in einer Excel-Tabelle eintragen, ich will einen Brief scannen, aber ich will nicht mit einem Chatbot darüber reden.

So vertrauenswürdig und datenschutzsicher ist der #Copilot von #Microsoft. Nicht.

Da soll mir einer sagen, der ganze Microsoft-Krempel wäre (DSGVO-)sicher.
