Following negative feedback, Microsoft is making the Copilot key experience less intrusive

For the past few months, Microsoft has been asking Windows hardware OEMs to include a Copilot key on the keyboard of upcoming "AI PCs", which also serves as a way to promote the Copilot+ brand. While some customers abhor the idea of having a dedicated key for Copilot, others have figured out multiple ways to replicate the experience without buying new hardware. That said, the general perception appears to be negative and while Microsoft isn't completely getting rid of this concept, it's making the Copilot key experience less intrusive for commercial customers moving forward.
