Overview
The new Copilot app for Windows 11 is really just Microsoft Edge. Renaming "mscopilot.exe" to "msedge.exe" and its folder from "Copilot" to "Edge" will simply launch Microsoft Edge. FYI, The actual Microsoft Edge browser and Edge WebView2 has already been uninstalled. Post Conversa Acabou de chegar ao X? Inscreva-se para ter sua própria timeline personalizada!

- Concern: The Copilot app lacks real integration with applications, functioning merely as a chat window, which undermines its utility compared to competitors like Claude.
- Concern: Microsoft's inconsistent rollout of Copilot has led to frustration, as users find more value in Anthropic's offerings for getting work done effectively.
- Concern: The reliance on web-based experiences for Copilot indicates a lack of innovation, making it feel outdated and less functional than expected.
