Is copilot another windows app I’ll need to uninstall? Thanks for the heads up!
It should be the reason to switch to Linux, finally, again.

From the picture, it’s just the context menu key with a new key cap.
That’s still a new key for some people. My laptop doesn’t have a context key, for example.
In my time it was also nine. Back to the roots. ;->

Microsoft is a monopoly. Stallman was right, as usual in software

Probably through licensing agreements with PC retailers.
But you can also just decide not to buy them.

Umm, it’s just a keycap. You can map the key to whatever you want.

There’s always the IBM Model M or, if you prefer USB, there are remakes with it.
Wow it’s yuuge
sure, any Apple keyboard
I am getting flashbacks to the multimedia keyboards on yesteryear:

Thanks MS, but no thanks, I don’t need it.
I love these, it has actual useful keys
I will admit that the volume wheel was awesome
yeah, the media controls are actually useful.
Really milking that fad before they inevitably push anything useful behind a monthly paywall.
As long as the ability to manually turn off secureboot and remove the OS isn’t locked behind a subscription…
Can’t help but think about how Facebook inc rebranded itself to Meta to chase/promote the metaverse fad.

Nope
They did this same thing with Mocrosoft Teams. Microsoft execs are some of the dumbest laziest people.
Wonder if it will be CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + WIN + C
Now I’m wondering, with which fingers would you press all those buttons? The most comfortable way to press these keys with 1 hand is to rotate the keyboard 180 degrees
They don’t intend for you to, it’s just easier to make a giant button combo that their generic HID driver handles as a special case than to create a custom keyboard protocol with their special key enums and a custom driver that only windows supports.
Why? Win+C launches Copilot already, if you want to use it. It’s simple enough currently, why change it? This will just make everything worse.
Why? Investment hype
So you can pressed accidentally activating the fucking AI and make the numbers go up so Microsoft can then go and say to investors look millions are using my AI. So annoying.
reminds me of the chromebook search key
So it disappears without Windows?
I guess we’ll have to find a use for that new key on Linux, and Linux laptop vendors will end up with some alternative symbol for it…
maybe bring back the hyper key! (Wikipedia link)
This is Clippy v2.0 and I’m sure it will be just as helpful.
They’ve learned from their mistakes, and concluded that Clippy failed because there was no Clippy key.

at least clippy, for all his faults, had the good sense to be a cute cartoon paperclip.
