> It is not yours anymore if you can't uninstall stuff.
But the article is literally instructions on how to uninstall it…also you can just uninstall Windows entirely.
Like I get where you’re coming from, but let’s not pretend that Windows PCs are iPhones now just because of Microsoft’s annoying dark patterns (patterns they’ve been following for years before Copilot came out).
There is really no need to split hairs here, Windows is definitely to be compared to iphones when it comes to how much you are in control.
The instructions described in the article will stop working with the next Windows update, as copilot usage is tied to middle manager #78's KPIs at Microsoft.
Suppose you don't use Windows though. What's Microsoft going to do then?
I think they would do the same thing that Apple does when you buy an android phone, to continue the metaphor
