A bit of a screed from Windows Central:

I want to be clear that Copilot opening on widescreen PCs automatically is not by itself enough to push me over the edge. But Microsoft’s systemic push to convert the Windows 11 desktop into a monetization path and a way to push Microsoft services has driven me through denial, anger, bargaining, and sadness. I suppose to a certain extent, I have also reached a point of acceptance because I don’t think Microsoft will stop doing what it’s doing.

We’re seeing more and more pushback about Microsoft putting Copilot on ‘all the things’.

Read the lament here.
