I think the original version was something like, "In airliners they will only need one pilot and a dog. The pilot is there to turn on the autopilot, and the dog is there to bite the pilot if he touches anything."
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

There's a trailer, at last: Clarkson's Farm Season 3 | Official Trailer | Prime Video - YouTube[^] - and it's genuinely funny.
If you don't have Prime then Clarkson's Farm is a pretty good reason to get one!

Not sure how much of this is accurate, but tada... clicky clicky!
It's about a 10 min video, but worth the watch as it covers some Windows 12 leaks. It's still early, but it sure does look legit-ish. All the AI talk aside, the idea of CorePC/Core OS and making Windows more modular is great. If you don't need legacy compatibility for a program written in the 90s, don't install it. Keep the computer clean. If you do, install it.
Edit: Holy crap on a cracker. This video suggests that for Windows 12 you can either pay for a subscription or use it for free with ads. 
Edit 2: I'm sure the data-tracking gonna get worse though.

The video sure did cover a lot of ground, but I'm afraid.
The video said, "Imagine having a personal assistant who knows everything about your personal life and work" when referring to Co-Pilot.
It will also limit your ability to charge the device based upon data from the electric company? What kind of orwellian junk is that?
I anticipate a huge market for software that disables all this stuff, unless MS makes it impossible to do that kind of thing.

Yeah man, I'm not really sure of what to make of it. But, Skynet is coming. Skynet is essentially the concept of the web 4.0/5.0.
Be funny if Linux became the OS of the resistance against the machines.

Yeah, now all they have to do is test it. Oh, wait! They haven't been doing that for the last, what, 8-10 years now?

I will not even contemplate Windows 12 with or without "CoPilot" unless I have a contract that pays me enough for the frustration.
I went out to the tech support site for Microsoft. It offered a free 30 day trial of CoPilot, $20/month thereafter. Honestly, I'm on the edge ( I read a lot of SciFi where the characters have AI in their head - but MS is never mentioned  ).
but, $200+ a year?
