I got my Surface Laptop Go onto the Windows Copilot preview. Not especially earth-shaking. Basically, it's the Bing Chat sidebar from Microsoft Edge, but on Windows itself.
I DO like having this interface available outside of the browser, and having a keyboard shortcut key to summon and dismiss it (it takes over Cortana's former Windows Key + C), but otherwise I haven't seen it do any tricks I haven't already seen from ChatGPT and Bing.
So, one difference I've noticed on Windows Copilot versus Bing Chat: it actually does LESS. The Bing Chat icon in Edge (which now has a tooltip that reads "Copilot" triggers the Windows Copilot panel, not the in-browser version, and the windows version is missing the "compose" tab (in which you could set various parameters and then ask Bing to draft you some text).
Ok, one odd addendum to the previous post: the Edge sidebar DOES still appear, if you are using an Edge window that is signed in to an account other than the one you are signed into Windows on. So if I'm working on Edge in my personal profile, the Bing Chat button launches Copilot; if I'm on the profile signed into the M365 account that's associated with my employer's tenant, it still gets its own sidebar in Edge.
I asked #BingChat (creative) to explain the relevance of the ancient proverb "When elephants fight it is the grass that suffers" in relation to #Zuckerberg positioning his new social media platform, #Threads in direct competition with #ElonMusk's #Twitter
Strangely enough #BingChat (precise) doesn't get trapped counting letters and knows a bit of #math, but has no awareness of the placement of letters after the 1st place.
In 100,000 years an alien ship enters our solar system. The earth has no remarkable intelligent life, but it's a beautiful biodiverse planet recovering from some bad extinctions. The aliens don't notice the traces left by humanity right away, this is just a survey trip and not much monumental remains.
But, they do pick up a signal, coming not from Earth, but from Mars. "How strange?" they think. Mars is obviously the inferior planet for life. Earth is incredible. But they go to investigate. 1/
