Windows Copilot promises to chill out when you tap the key

Remember when Microsoft promised that the Copilot key would be the next big thing? Since then Microsoft has begun backing away from its Copilot app, and this week the company is promising that Copilot won't even launch when you tap the key -- just a subset of the app will. Instead, Microsoft is promising that the Copilot key -- or, in future, the WIN C shortcut -- will launch Copilot Chat, a small chat box that won't take up as much screen space as before. But even this new experience isn't free from Microsoft's fragmentation problems, which puts separate features on separate tracks. Microsoft has two Copilot experiences: the "consumer" version of Copilot, and the more professional Copilot experience as Microsoft 365 Copilot.
