I, for one, have never used it and have no inclination to do so, but I’m not losing any sleep over not being able to uninstall it.

From MS

We don’t own Your Content, but we may use Your Content to operate Copilot and improve it. By using Copilot, you grant us permission to use Your Content, which means we can copy, distribute, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, edit, translate and reformat it and we can give those same rights to others who work on our behalf.

We get to decide whether to use Your Content and we don’t have to pay you, ask your permission, or tell you when we do.

The MS article states "By using Copilot, you grant us permission to use Your Content".

OB did clearly say he has "never used it".

The issue is, using co-pilot is something that you may unintentionally do since they are forcing it into everything.

Joe Public - "Opens Microsoft Word and start creating a document"

Microsoft - Microsoft Word has Co-Pilot in it, so you have automatically agreed to allow us to use your document however they see fit, regardless of what that document is for.

That is the issue with having it installed, and just by having it installed you technically using it, because Microsoft are making it a core part of Windows and will tie it to everything you do.

Make no mistake, Windows is already a key logger and data harvester, but it's not yet as bad as Microsoft want it to be, the next big update what should be "Windows 12" but will actually be a feature update for Windows 11 is going to make the data collection 100x worse.
