I literally do not understand what Paul & Winston are saying as they know
more about Windows than I ever will, but what I know is Copilot is no
longer available to me, even in the sidebar-chat form, sans login.

I presume that's the case for everyone, but I'm not sure from responses.

Moving forward, given Gemini limits free chats as does ChatGPT, I'm going
to try, for the first time in earnest, the duck.ai interface & browser.

In summary, as far as I can tell, Microsoft CoPilot no longer allows even a
single chat to go unregistered to an account. 

I'm not sure if only a Microsoft Account will be acceptable, but the
side-bar only allows an MSA (it doesn't have an option for Google/Apple).
