Microsoft has revamped its Copilot app on Windows once again, this time insisting it really has gone native.

The update, which is rolling out to Windows Insiders from the Microsoft Store is, according to the IT giant, a native XAML app. It includes a side panel for starting conversations and a conversation history list.

And being a properly native app rather than a website running in a container means Copilot has more access to the operating system, for better or for worse.

As of now, the Copilot app can't do an awful lot to a user's PC. However, it does show the direction of travel โ€“ at some point, folks will be able to control more of their PC using a conversational interface rather than a terse call to a family member or IT support person to find out why the printer has stopped working again.

No thanks, I never asked for this.

The AI slop is what finally got me to install and stick with Linux. And man, do I miss windows. But/ like, Windows 7. Not whatever the fuck Microsoft is doing to Windows 11.
