Olive Badger : Microsoft Lied About Copilot!

Microsoft promised to pull Copilot out of Windows, and the internet celebrated. Then Microsoft's actual response shipped: they removed the word Copilot from Notepad and called it a win. The AI is still there. The features are still there. They just renamed the icon. This is Microslop Chronicles, and we're doing a full autopsy on Microsoft's "commitment to quality", what it actually promises, what it quietly sidesteps, and why the pattern of acknowledgment without action keeps repeating. From the agentic OS disaster of November 2025 (484 replies, zero supportive ones, and a comments section that got disabled) to the March 2026 blog post that reads almost like an apology without ever saying sorry — Microsoft's response to user backlash is a masterclass in the corporate crisis playbook. We break down what changed, what didn't, and why the removal policy for enterprise admins has more asterisks than a terms of service agreement.

The Nightmare That Is The Lieng Leadership of Microslop

#Microsoft is clearly becoming desperate due to low adoption rates of #Copilot.

Apparently, Microsoft is now pushing Copilot to all #Microsoft365 personal subscribers and calling it a "subscription price increase". Only when you decide to cancel your subscription are you presented with the option to switch to "Microsoft 365 Personal Classic" without Copilot (and nearly the old price). The classic plan is not presented as an option unless you try to cancel your subscription.

This is a classic scammy trick: Modify the existing plan and add the feature no one wants and hide the old plan from view. Presto, now you have an insane adoption rate you can present to investors as a great success.

I personally don't use Microsoft subscription services, so I don't know if they tried this bullshit in the EU, but if they did, they're asking for trouble. They got sued in Australia over this already: accc.gov.au/media-release/micr… "Microsoft in court for allegedly misleading millions of Australians over Microsoft 365 subscriptions"

EDIT: It seems that at least in some areas/situations the "classic" non-AI version is actually even more expensive. This isn't exactly making the situation any better of course.
