Quite amusing to read this
<https://www.computerworld.com/article/3627584/that-new-copilot-key-on-your-keyboard-its-useless-for-business.html>:

    “The Copilot key was originally intended to launch Copilot on Windows”

except that

    “Copilot on Windows has been removed, and the Microsoft Copilot
    app is now only available to consumer users who authenticate with
    a Microsoft account”

and

	“It will not work for commercial users authenticating with a
	Microsoft Entra account.”

So the key still does something for consumer users, but it is now
completely nonfunctional for business users.

Sad fate for a key that was only added to keyboards less than a year
ago ...
