“….So for example, I just go there and express my intent and it either navigates me to an application or it brings the application to the Copilot”

What does that mean to me, if I just want to open notepad? How to I express my intent, exactly? Through interpretive dance?

Hello, I would like to use notepad.

Ok, I can open notepad. But have you considered notepad enhanced with AI? It predicts what you want to type for $49.99 a year!

"i would like to write a quick letter in wordpad."

sorry. that application is not available. launching word instead and starting a subscription to microsoft 365.
locating credit card information...
found. you will be charged $99.99 per year.

** Goes to uninstall the application **

Hello, it looks like you're trying to uninstall Microsoft 365. Your plan has been updated. To keep Microsoft 365 uninstalled you will be charged $149.99 per year, plus a $74.99 uninstallation fee.

Thank you for signing up for Uninstaller 365. Your monthly fee will be $49.99. To cancel write 16 pages of klingon opera and send it to the following address exactly 100 days 16 hours before your requested cancellation minute.

I'm guessing speaking or typing: "note" "pad" "notepad" "how do I write a note?" "Write something down" would all work.

To be fair this would probably be the same speed as me hitting windows key + R and typing "notepad".
