Since forever, it's been a pain to figure out hardware requirements to run an app on Windows, especially for the layperson.
'Copilot+ PC' has been an awkward branding, but once you own one, it makes it easy to figure out if some app/feature is supported on your PC or not.

Till school, except a couple on Delhi trips, my fanciest movie experiences were sitting in a 12-seater 'box' at small-town cinemas. It had a sofa seat (wow), often with sponge peeking out. Samosa and Campa were had in intermission.
And now, there's PVR Playhouse for the kid! 😳

Unpopular opinion: I like that Microsoft has now integrated Copilot capabilities with the regular Microsoft 365 Personal/Family subscription.
Earlier, one had to pay $20/month extra for Copilot. That barrier meant that most users didn't even try the new AI-powered features.

It's been 15 years today that papa left us. It threw us off, jolted me out of my comfort, and changed how life, and I, would be. 💔
