When Microsoft first unveiled Copilot+ PCs back in May, I was excited. The company was positioning this new wave of hardware as a real competitor to the Mac, which has been wiping the floor with Windows ultrabooks ever since the launch of Apple Silicon in 2020. Apple was ahead of the game, but that wouldn't be the case much longer as Microsoft and its partners were finally ready to tackle the competition head-on.
Unfortunately, it's clear now that the launch hasn't gone the way Microsoft or its partners would have liked. The announcement event was almost immediately overshadowed by Copilot+ PCs headlining AI feature, Windows Recall, after it was discovered that the feature was woefully insecure. Microsoft was forced to rip Recall out of Copilot+ PCs at the very last second.
