Watching from the sidelines (not a Microsoft user), I've completely lost track. Between this, the Azure 365 cloud whatever stuff, I have no idea what many of the products even exactly are any more.

Simply put Microsoft is the worst company at naming stuff. Even when they come up with a good name for something, they'll name 3 other totally different products the same thing to maximize confusion.

I gotta say though, I'm actually not sure which VMware (well Broadcom I suppose) products I use anymore. I'm pretty sure they took the Aria name off something else they called Aria for a little while. So Aria is no longer Aria but they still have Aria but it's what used to be called XYZ

Should we tack on an "XP" for good measure?

That wasn't so bad compared to Xbox, I still don't know which Xbox is the latest one.

Xbox Series with X > S (so if you want the high end of the current generation you want the Xbox Series X; if you want mid-range things are more complicated because you can now get an Xbox One X, but not the Xbox One, used for much less than you'd get an Xbox Series S for and which one is "better" is a dice roll depending on the games you want to play and if 4K matters to you…)

Series is a real weird word to use there. But it also doesn't help that the versions are extra complicated because with "PC-like compatibility" in everything after the Xbox One playing just about the entire same library you need a bit of a matrix to figure out which is best for you if you don't care about the "latest and greatest".

After thoroughly reading your explanation I've decided to buy a new Xbox One!

Weirdly it only has 8GB of internal storage...

Seriously? Does anybody know what Copilot is? I don't think I have ever seem a "Copilot user", so I don't know what it looks like. Is it the little macro key on new laptop keyboards? The chatbot you get in Bing? A technical philosophy? Or is it in essence just copilot.com, the mediocre chat interface which you used to get free GPT-4 three years ago?

The copilot button isn't even a "button" in a traditional sense, it just maps to win+shift+f23

I wish. I got a Dell laptop for work and they've replaced the right Ctrl key with a Copilot key, and (because it's a locked-down work sysyem) the only thing I can remap that to is the Windows menu. And I keep hitting it out of muscle memory, interrupting everything. But at least now it doesn't launch Copilot.

Which I could add is "the only AI approved for use by IT" because they hate us.

I'm pretty sure Clippy and Rover had a child and it got bit by a radioactive LLM.

It's highly reminiscent of "IBM Watson" a few years ago. Basically the add-on brand to make them look cooler.

There is a chance that it's actually a Microsoft Office discord that was rebranded to Microsoft Copilot.
