Putting people on autopilot. The MS way!
A much better name that's for sure. Although maybe slightly too generic.
And not to be confused with GitHub Copilot
Tbh that's from Microsoft too... So it probably was intended.
Seems likely, MS also renames stuff constantly which is probably one of the most annoying things they do.
The worst offender probably was Microsoft Surface, which used to be a smart table and then suddenly became a tablet.
It should learn from Google and just kill stuff.
Or Windows Copilot
They could have just called it Cortana.
I never used the prior Cortana though
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Not to cause confusion, Microsoft swears — despite the fact that the company now has roughly a dozen products that share the Copilot brand.
“Renaming ‘Bing Chat Enterprise’ to ‘Copilot’ reflects our vision to create a unified Copilot experience for consumer and commercial customers,” Caitlin Roulston, director of communications at Microsoft, told TechCrunch via email.
Starting December 1, users who sign into Bing with a corporate account — a Microsoft Entra ID, to be precise — will receive the benefit of “commercial data protection” while using Copilot in Bing.
“Copilot will update the commercial terms and conditions on December 1 to reflect that it’s a generally available product from Microsoft,” she added.
“As part of this, it will inherit Microsoft’s universal license terms for online services … Over time, Microsoft will expand eligibility of Copilot with commercial data protection to even more Entra ID users at no additional cost.”
Copilot is now accessible in Windows in addition to Copilot.Microsoft.com and Bing, shipping in range of Microsoft’s enterprise subscription plans — Microsoft 365 E, E5, Business Premium and Business Standard — at no additional cost.
