Is anyone here not confused about how Copilot licenses work (free vs paid) and how to choose models for different types of task?

I'm confused over what anyone means when they say "Copilot", since it could mean the VS Code editor features or various features on github.com or the thing that Microsoft sell as part of their 365 office software.

I think this article is about the 365 suite.

Good old Microsoft naming. I'll never understand how they can think it's a good idea to release multiple entirely different products and call them all variations of the same thing. One would think they would have solved this problem a decade ago and yet every few years it happens again.

Someone thought this would reduce marketing budget, since they now cross-promoting.

I love how Microsoft will have three products that compete with themselves, e.g. Lync and Skype and Teams all coexisting at the same time.
