They have taken over. The Surface is the next "best" alternative, but I'm old school. I still prefer an actual desktop PC where I can easily get to the guts of everything, unlike with a laptop.

I stopped using Copilot. To say it makes mistakes is a gross understatement. So far in my experience, it's not possible to train it. It's becoming worse by the week. I use Bard now for real time info. It makes a lot of mistakes too, but it's not as woke as Bing and it doesn't cut you off for no reason either.

I have been playtesting Copilot for some time now, and I can say that like any other tool, you need to use Copilot in skilful ways. Then it will make only few mistakes. And the more skilful you use it, the fewer mistakes it will make.

Are you sure you used Copilot with the necessary skill? Because Bard in your hands makes a lot of mistakes, too. Just saying.

You CAN train Copilot as I related to in some detail in my previous post, i.e. it will adjust its parameters according to input and correct itself. The adjustments are not very nimble at this time, but I trust that that (and it's other aspects) will improve.

Copilot won't cut you off either. You can set the turn limit to unlimited, if you like. The default value for the turn limit is 20, and it may seem an abrupt end, then. I am surprised, though, because Copilot, if I press it hard, usually says to me "let's change topics" LOL

Copilot is still under development, but it is a GREAT development

I need a computer to play games, read books and watch films.
If I need a co-pilot, I'll get married.

I asked Copilot for get married advice for you, here it is

-------------
Certainly! Here are some pieces of advice that can help you build a strong and healthy marriage:

Remember your commitment: Marriage is a partnership that requires both partners to be committed to each other. When you face difficulties, remember that you are in this together and that you can rely on each other for support 1.
Assume the best of one another: It’s important to give your partner the benefit of the doubt and assume that they have good intentions, even when you disagree with them. This can help you avoid misunderstandings and build trust in your relationship 1.
Stop stonewalling: Stonewalling is the act of shutting down during an argument and refusing to communicate. It can be incredibly damaging to a relationship. Instead, try to stay engaged and work through your disagreements together 1.
Be flexible: Marriage requires both partners to be flexible and willing to adapt to changing circumstances. Be open to new experiences and willing to compromise when necessary 2.
Communicate openly: Communication is key to a healthy marriage. Make sure that you are both comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings with each other, and that you are actively listening to each other 3.
Make time for each other: It’s important to prioritize your relationship and make time for each other, even when life gets busy. Schedule regular date nights or other activities that you can enjoy together 1.
Be patient: Marriage is a journey, and it takes time to build a strong and healthy relationship. Be patient with each other and focus on making progress, rather than expecting perfection 2.
Seek help when needed: If you are struggling in your marriage, don’t be afraid to seek help from a therapist or other professional. They can provide you with the tools and support you need to build a stronger relationship 1.

I hope you find this advice helpful!

I stopped using it because all it was doing was going to Google, finding the same page I found, not show me the page, type out the contents of the page slowly in a small part of the screen. No 'win' whatsoever.

I have no clue where you got your info but Windows 12 beta is running on 4gb of ram. It does not need 16gb I foind this out from Microsoft Chatgpt. Since I am Microsoft Premium user I was able to call somebody at Microsoft. Minimum requirement are

Processor: 1 GHz or faster with 2 or more cores (compatible CPUs)
RAM: 4 GB
Storage: 128 GB or larger
System Firmware: UEFI and Secure Boot capable
TPM: Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0

They are listening to users actually who thought 8gb of ram was too much. So they were able to lower it in Windows 12 So where people think Microsoft did wrong they actually did something right for a change. DO NOT GET USE TO IT

I was just curios was all. I am not worried about it. I have 32gb of ram on a laptop that will run anything at max specs

I'm surprised they actuall answered your question about Windows 12. I would have thought that they would of said that they don't have any info about the next version of Windows at this time.

Nah - phones can only one two apps at one time, have crappy keyboards.

Smartphones are toys and no use for serious work.

Has this article been posted ? (excerpts)

Microsoft has officially confirmed what we reported over the past few weeks: Windows 12 isn’t happening in 2024, and the next version of Windows is “Windows 11 version 24H2”, codenamed Hudson Valley.

This confirms the big update of the year is called “Windows 11 24H2”, and not “Windows 12”. Windows 11 24H2 is supposed to be the biggest “AI upgrade” for the OS and will carry a Build number in the 26xxx range. You’ll notice the updated version and numbers in Settings > System > About after installing Build 26052 or newer.

Even though companies like Qualcomm suggested Microsoft might release something like Windows 12, Microsoft has decided to stick with Windows 11 for now.

It is worth noting that Windows 12 has not been cancelled, and it may still happen in 2025 or later. According to sources familiar with the development, Microsoft is also believed to be working on a ChromeOS-like variant of the OS to take on the Chromebooks in the education market.

Microsoft confirms Windows 12 is not happening this year

But Microsoft needs to get a new version out ASAP. It's up against the historical idea that every other version since XP was bad. (XP, 7, and 10 good. Vista, 8, and 11, bad. I don't find 11 to be bad, though. It's always felt to me more like 10.1.)
