Microsoft Abandons Copilot+ PCs, Ditches Publisher After 35 Years
Microsoft has made some significant announcements recently about its Copilot technology, which it claims is being developed as a new operating system. According to Satya Nadella, Microsoft's CEO, Copilot is 'building Copilot as a new OS for work', but this statement has left many wondering what exactly he means.
The company is also abandoning the Copilot+ PC branding and has shifted away from its AI-centric initiatives in Windows. This move has been met with some surprise, given Microsoft's previous enthusiasm for integrating AI into its operating system.
Another change on the horizon is the discontinuation of Publisher after 35 years. The app will be removed from support on October 1, and users who have a non-subscription version can continue to use it until October 13, but without security updates.
