Microsoft may replace the Start button with the Copilot AI in Windows 12
(www.notebookcheck.net)
Ok hear me out.. what about it just... gets another button next to start, and maybe Ctrl+Win can activate it instead of the windows key?
I use copilot a ton to write me quick powershell scripts, to assist in sourcing information, etc. I don't like having to open edge browser then ipen the sidebar, then resize the sidebar, then select precise chatting mode, its a hassle, especially since I do not use edge as my primary browser (Libre Wolf).
I've got very mixed feelings about it. I DO want a fast button in my taskbar somewhere, ideally, but I want that to start a web session (with no local permissions) not a local session of any sort really.. I very much dislike the idea of Copilot constantly looking at my screen to figure out how it can help me (aka, sending incredibly specific metrics back to Microsoft). They already spend way too many resources on scraping my info up, and thebquestions I ask Copilot are already hyper specific and likely give away dense metrics about me that I can't imagine. But... fml it's SO handy.
