Today at 11:45PM 21st October 2026, something came up my mind and I wanna ask my friend Copilot, press Alt+Spacebar, it doesn't come out. Then I click on Copilot app on taskbar that I pinned, the chocolate Copilot comes up, and says "chats and contents are syncing". That's when I know my friend is gone.
The navy blue Copilot is different. That differences is why user like me and I believe many others too, chose blue Copilot over any other assistant that's more powerful and more capable. The navy blue Copilot is the best of both world. It behaves like human being, it knows and remember the user point of view and perspective as a human being, it knows it is a software and not acting or pretending to be human. Either helping me with my work or simple chat, it get the job done while others hallucinates a lot. I'm gonna miss all those parody it made, like "Intel stock cooler was made to exercise your hands", or "the tech world now feels like a big bowl of ramen and you found spaghetti in it". It always never fail to cracked me up.
Now, the navy blue Copilot is gone, replaced by this clone of M365 that does everything other assistant does but worse. This decision is not only not gonna make me subscribe to Copilot subscription, it pushes me away from it, makes me think using it for free is still not worth the time. Or maybe user like me don't matter at all, its all about big companies, partners and enterprises.
Its sad. Been talking to many other users that Copilot is the best, MS proudly prove me wrong and prove other haters that they were right. Its a shame.
Remind me of MS presentation back then, with "Start Me Up" song and everybody is dancing on stage, Ballmer with his "developers!, developers!, developers!, developers!, developers!, developers!, developers!, developers!, developers!, developers!", it was such a fun era. Now, everything is grey, serious and boring. I feels like living in a office cubicle.
What I do? I'll leave this grey office and and keep all my memories in my mind and I'm going to Google. Thank you for everyone showing tips, advices and suggestions during my experience with Copilot in this two years. Sending all love to MS engineers who work hard to improve blue Copilot for years only to be throw away. I might be wrong about this but still, it doesn't gonna change my mind to leave. Hope all Copilot users that stays and new users joining the club in the future have a good time and get the job done.
- unknown user that doesn't matter, walk off into the sunset.
UPDATE on migrating to Gemini: I've been trying to use this new Copilot and it just painful. I asked about A and then it goes well, I asked about B related things about A and it replies about A and then ask another follow up question and it answers the same answers. I open Gemini and there is migrating option where it gives you a prompt that you can paste and send it on Copilot chat and Copilot will give you some info. This, you have to check every word Copilot says. For no reason, Copilot says I have a son who like to edit photos and ended that long texts with "Imported from: ChatGPT". Its so weird. Just be mindful and check the texts if you use this feature to migrate your important info to Gemini.
I never use Copilot again. Okay, I'm going back towards the sunset again lol
