Microsoft Restores Calendar Flyout to Windows 11 Taskbar

"...Microsoft has turned Windows 11 into a broiling soup of AI features...."

"...forcing the reported hundreds of millions of lingering users to switch to the AI-filled version of Windows..."

"...The fact that this feature was missing since October 2021 is egregious considering how many third-party alternative apps came out to bring back the Windows 10 calendar and clock...."

"...Essentially, the Copilot chatbot will infect every single text box inside the OS, including any outside app if you can’t bother typing up your own texts and emails...."

"...Otherwise, like every other part of Windows 11, the taskbar is being overloaded with new AI capabilities with dubious use cases...."

"...However, Copilot will also come to the File Explorer search bar with the promise it will summarize documents for you with one click...."

"...Otherwise, 365 apps like Outlook will start generating AI summaries for your emails, while Word will create automatic alt-text for any images you put in a document...."

"...Otherwise, it’s just ammunition for Windows to serve you even more pop-up ads and banners trying to get you to subscribe to the tech giant’s workplace apps...."

"...That means computers would be able to give Copilot a complex task, then let it work it out in the background while you’re doing your own thing...."

"...This would also mean granting Copilot access to all your personal files, emails, photos, and more...."

"...Sure, the AI is essentially running in its own separate Windows client on the cloud, but it also means it needs to process your data on foreign servers...."
