They tried with Cortana next to the start button. I don’t think anybody ever used it.

That would be because Cortana was hot garbage at doing anything and was significantly slower than just typing my query by hand.

If they built an assistant that was worth half a fuck maybe we might have used it now and then. I'm not very confident that Copilot is that. But it's going to be more useful than Cortana was almost no matter what they do with it.
