    Thanks for that. Reading it:

    "Once installed, open the Copilot app and sign in using your personal
    Microsoft Account." So presumably it only works if you have one. (AFAIK,
    I don't.)

    "You can bring up Copilot at any time in Windows by quickly pressing Alt
    + Spacebar." I tried that, and just got the top-left-click menu, so
    presumably I _don't_ have Copilot installed.[]
    Copilot Vision on Windows is currently available in the US only through
    the Copilot on Windows app.
    "

    Does that mean

    it's only available in the US (and then only through the app)

    or

    in the US, it's only available through the app

    ? (Just idle curiosity - my mind picks up on such things; I don't have
    W11 so not relevant to me anyway.)>
    Wow. And/or Exciting.

    How big a PC collection do you have ?

    I know you've got a W7 laptop.

    I think we're possibly past the point of buying PCs now.
    The refurbs aren't worth it, and the new stuff is too expensive.

    I guess that is why there is "sudden interest" in these.
    4 cores at 3.6Ghz. There are a few suppliers making these
    small boxes. You don't particularly want DDR4, unless the
    machine already sports max-RAM (DDR4 is out of production
    and the price shot up to 3X normal recently).

    They usually have a laptop blower in them, as the thing
    needs a bit of airflow.
