At some point the FTC and DOJ really need to split up these huge companies to stop this bundling of separate products to block out any competition.

All they did here was change the name.

So that the next generation will never know there was such a thing as a local-first office suite free from invasive AI.

Well excel is going to continue to excel. ...everything else in office is in danger of getting AI crammed into it diagonally whether it needs it or not.

The competency crisis will also affect Excel down the line, just like it's affecting Boeing spaceships and planes and everything else the new demographics touch.

Also good to remember that Microsoft Copilot is not Github Copilot even if Microsoft now runs Github. And then there's apparently Microsoft Copilot in Azure, which is a devops tool. Clear as mud!

easy solution - just don’t use windows

Hundreds of millions of people are required by their employer to use Windows

Milions of soldiers are required by their employer to shoot and kill people.

That their employer said so doesn't make it moral or ok. Using Windows is always wrong. Using Chrome is always wrong.

yup, in which case this is a simple corporate issue. what does one care about what windows bundles together if this is OS and software provided to you for work?! if I was insane enough to work for such a company (am not) I would want them to bundle 100 things together, pile it on - flight attendant to the copilot to the copilot… :)
