Copilot was just never added to my PC at all. I disabled Cortana on day 1, so I definitely wouldn't like Copilot if it found its way onto my PC.

Every now and then when I start my PC I get the "Finish setting up your PC" with the Office 365 and Copilot stuff and I just press "Later."

Still never had AI forced onto my computer and I'd like to keep it that way.

I love the tactics those worms at Microsoft use of to trick people to buy their bullshit. “Finish setting up” implies there’s some essential component that’s missing from the OS. Reminds me of when apps will say “permission required” to get me to give the app unfettered access to my location.

Eh, I wouldn't say that's the worst one, android and iOS also have the same wording for trivial things that you didn't set up. And it will leave you alone eventually or you can ignore it.

What I really hate in Microsoft's case is the options they give you, they are like "set up" or "remind me in 3 days" or something like that. How about a fucking no and never ask me again option?
