First time every day when I log into a PC at work, it tries to set up CoPilot. 30 seconds later, I get to close it. Screen saver has the stock tips, news, shopping widgets, weather etc.
Last place I worked I figured out how to get rid of all the junk but the PCs in this new place are used my multiple people so I can’t personalize them. I use 3 PCs on a regular basis depending on where in the shop I am. They are set up however IT/admin sets them up.
They have a support/help desk system so I guess I’ll let them know about the CoPilot thing because that’s just wasting 30 seconds a day for every user.
A few days ago, Hubby launched Outlook 365 like always, but it opened in an entirely different format. Copilot was everywhere! Not user friendly at all.
We contract with a tech support company so I called them. He said that MS pushed out their new format without notifying anyone. To return to the old format it was just a matter of a toggle switch, and it was fine again. He said everyone will be forced into the new format eventually.
I have come to the conclusion that the only browser that gets close to being secure is MAC Safari in private mode. And you can build your own for Linux using the Webkit rendering engine. With a little more work it can be compiled for Windows...
I’m going to try to see how it goes for Linux.

Ain’t that a hoot? Computers are getting faster and faster to boot to desktop HOWEVER, once there, windows tr8es forcing crap on us and we have to wait until it stops twisting our arms to use the computer.
I think with all the crap ms is doing, and al. The prblems it is causing, and with all the heavy costly ulgrades needed just to run the extortionist ms, we are gonna see a lot of people migration to Linux in the next few years
