The COPILOT function comes with a couple of limitations, as it can't access information outside your spreadsheet, and you can only use it to calculate 100 functions every 10 minutes. Microsoft also warns against using the AI function for numerical calculations or in "high-stakes scenarios" with legal, regulatory, and compliance implications, as COPILOT "can give incorrect responses."

Well, just so we're clear, the competition included WordPerfect and Lotus Symphony.

Excel feels right in line with that.

It makes some sense. At the time computer stuff was office stuff. They named software suites the same way they named photocopiers and desk lamps. "Ah, yeah, here's our LightMaster 2000 model. Really the best photons for your eyeball productivity. Please consider our Lightbulb Pro expansion as well".

The 80s were wild, because you were out there playing some videogames and then suddenly stumbled upon a bunch of accessories and content clearly meant for a balding, extremely sexually frustrated man in their late 40s.

Don't ask me if that was better or worse than living in a swamp of content intended exclusively for 12 year olds. I'm not ready for that question.
