Windows 7 still has a similar market share to desktop Linux. I suspect that some of those users are holdouts, rejecting the Cortana nonsense but too stubborn or lazy to switch. But I'd also wager that, in the longer term, a decent portion of that 3% ends up on Linux.

At least on 10 it is relatively simple to disable Cortana and forget it exists. I can't believe Microsoft is trying to make Copilot key a thing.

That makes me wonder. Can you escape it with a non-us keyboard?
