@graste@social.vivaldi.net @simonzerafa@infosec.exchange for decades Microsoft famously falls in love with a name or prefix/suffix and re/names *everything* to use it. Remember "Visual" everything? "Active", as in Desktop, X, Server Pages, Directory? Remember the ridiculously un-searchable ".NET"? Forefront for a while in there. Everything was "Core" for a minute. Azure of course. I know I'm missing a few

@graste ah, unfond memories of Microsoft SharePoint Workspace (not the same as SharePoint) and Skype for Business (not the same as Skype)

@graste I bet someone who consumes an unhealthy dosis of alcohol and other pills couldn't come up with the shit Microsoft is having...

@graste I'm so ready for Copilot One .NET Standard Professional Plus (Service Pack 3)
-
@piegames@flausch.social 2026-04-04 16:52
@graste so Copilot has become a generic term for the concept then?
-
@drizzy@cyberplace.social 2026-04-04 16:53
@graste you think users have it bad? I pity the poor souls trying to plan and communicate "copilot" anything at Microslop. The comms confusion must be out of this world

@graste "Customers sometimes don't have a clear idea what our GenAI proposition is." Actual words I've heard a Microsoft executive say.

@kemotep@mastodo.neoliber.al 2026-04-04 17:25
@graste I definitely remember multiple times the past year being told I was stupid for getting what “copilot” someone was using wrong over on the Orange Site and this is definitive proof that Microsoft is insane.

@graste This must be the first E of the three. And I really hope they get to the third soon! 🥳

@theogrin@chaosfem.tw 2026-04-04 18:23
@graste On the plus side, when I say 'I hate CoPilot', the phrase is still 100% accurate.
-
@Bwaz@mastodon.online 2026-04-04 18:29
@graste Ah, like .NET, Active whatzits, even "multimedia".

@Kerplunk@mastodon.scot 2026-04-04 18:47
@graste 75 buckets of microslop named co pilot I refuse to use any of them.

@hub@cosocial.ca 2026-04-04 20:00
@graste it’s the new Windows.

@BryanGreyson@social.tchncs.de 2026-04-04 20:03
@graste I wanted to add that they also have XBox Copilot, which is a great accessibility feature and NOT related to AI, but...it seems they have renamed that one to "Xbox Controller Assist". I assume not to...erm...*looks at the image*...cause any confusion. 😅
-
@benh@mastodon.scot 2026-04-04 20:11
@graste that word repeated over and over, my tired eyes now read as 'coprolite' and I cannot unsee it...
-
@elduvelle@neuromatch.social 2026-04-04 20:19
@graste what this also demonstrates is that #Microsoft has waaay too many "products". Maybe they should focus and a few ones and actually make them work properly (😂) rather than aiming for a total monopoly of crap? I know... wishful thinking, I know

@luc0x61@mastodon.gamedev.place 2026-04-04 20:23
@graste They differentiated in 75 flavors the things that will go wrong. Typical from Microsoft.

@rich@mastodon.gamedev.place 2026-04-04 21:13
@graste I don't see a problem here. Or here. Or over there, or -

@EricLawton@kolektiva.social 2026-04-04 21:27
@graste Maybe they'll rename the whole company. "Ready to take control of your computer or your whole business, as soon as we decide you're not doing it right". @alice

@metaphil@chaos.social 2026-04-04 21:35
@graste I asked Copilot and it said that the chart is missing Copilot for Microsoft Copilot
-
@mls14@social.vivaldi.net 2026-04-04 21:39
@graste They have flipped the popular bumper sticker. “Copilot is my God.”
-
@Steve@social.coop 2026-04-04 22:52
@graste My favorite part is that Copilot may not work as intended, and is for entertainment purposes only.
-
@mrgrumpymonkey@mastodon.social 2026-04-04 23:12
@graste Microsoft just needs to rename itself Copilot and call it done. They won't, because that would be corporate suicide, but a monkey can dream.

@Li@tech.lgbt 2026-04-04 23:47
@graste remember that office is now Microsoft 365 Copilot App .. also this is just .NET all over again isnt it?

@graste hahaha

@dianea@lgbtqia.space 2026-04-05 00:56
@graste It's replicating like Agent Smith "The best thing about being me, there's so many me's"

@joelvanderwerf@mastodon.social 2026-04-05 00:58
@graste "Copilot in Viva Glint" sounds like a rock opera.
-
@irina@critter.cafe 2026-04-05 01:53
@graste "copilot in viva glint" is just throwing syllables at the wall and adding "copilot"

@graste I thought it was one product.

@Iveyline@mastodon.nz 2026-04-05 05:53
@graste Like an evjl virus infecting everything Microsoft.

@umbraroze@tech.lgbt 2026-04-05 06:39
@graste "Microsoft Copilot. We don't know what it is and what it does, but it's got electrolytes, it's what the plants crave." (The plants, in fact, very much do not crave for it)

@graste Same with "Outlook".

@graste It helps in that anything called co-pilot I can ignore.

@graste Jesus with Copilot is my copilot.

@commonst@social.vivaldi.net 2026-04-05 10:19
@graste we have recently moved to MS products from Google at work, and MS' habit of using the same name for multiple things is the most confusing thing I have ever seen in the workplace. No one can figure out how to do anything. It's wild.

@PalmAndNeedle@norden.social 2026-04-05 10:22
@graste this is Copilot an Copilot excellent Copilot idea. Copilot.
