Marketing has too much power. They get some hairbrained scheme to goose the numbers and just slam a mandate all the way down the org. Is "Copilot" not getting enough clicks? Make every button say "copilot", problem solved. Marketing doesn't know or care what was there before, someone needs numbers up to get their promotion.

So Microsoft isn't bringing copilot to all these applications? It's just bringing a copilot label to them? So glad I don't use this garbage at home.

Yes and no, because "Copilot" isn't any single thing, but can mean whatever they want it to mean in different contexts.

It's marketing but I think they want everything to seem like an integrated platform so they can sell you on creeping into bundles.
