in a standard windows installation, notepad and wordpad were the only tools for writing. Wordpad was the one, where formatting could be set. But it reached its EoL and is removed from new versions of windows. Notepad was upgraded with tabs for multifile edit. So, it makes sense, as a lot of people do not buy ms office or know about the other software like open office. ... May be its to complicated for them. So, having copilot in notepad solves two pains:

- giving the ones, who do not care for formatting, copilot in the only writing programm in windows/standard.

- allowing MSFT to push their copilot to users in an effort to establish it and to force users into an MSFT-Account

I don't like it either..
