To any microsoft workers: is this stuff really getting zero pushback internally? It is clear power users don’t want it and that is sort of who copilot is pitched towards vs the masses.

Last time MS cared about power users was in Windows 7.

I imagine (based on my experiences as a now-former MS employee) that someone's (or some group's) bonus is tied to the number of Copilot seats installed. Which makes them oblivious/uncaring as to who might push back or how a user might feel. That's muh bonus, brah!

And since CoPilot is high profile, it's gets lots of support from the C-suite, limiting meaningful pushback. And here we are. I suggest learning to use gpedit if you don't already know how.

But don't worry, once bonuses are handed out, those same geniuses will find some other high profile initiative to boost their comp and level. Then we'll see some other square peg destructively jammed into a round hole.

What makes you think the Windows group gives a shit about what some random in DevTools thinks about their product? There's probably all kinds of internal pushback, but I would question how much straw polling is being done.
