    I’m waiting for Windows 12, since it’s only every other Windows OS that’s worth using.

    Unfortunately with the way they’re going, W12 won’t have mouse or keyboard support and a Cortana/Copilot/Cockamamie LLM will be the only way you can interact with your computer.

      I heard they already killed off Cortana, which is (kind of) a shame since it was one of the more interesting voice assistants I’ve seen, plus it actually had some personality IIRC. They even got the voice pretty darn close to that of Jen Taylor.

      At one point I managed to get the voice working in other TTS programs but the process was extremely convoluted and I’m sure it wouldn’t work anymore, if the files are even still buried within Windows.

      But back to your point, it will absolutely be Copilot or some other forgettable flavor-of-the-week data siphon AI
