I'm kind of shocked by this comment. Microsoft seems to be dominating the industry, with copilot having over 1.5 million users.

It randomly showed up on my Windows machine after an Edge update. This reminds me of how Internet Explorer was once the most popular browser.
Copilot is ridiculously easy for a CTO/IT to enable for an entire org. That doesn't mean it's providing the level of value that Cursor is. It's just like the number of "users" Microsoft Teams has, is implicitly tied to the number of Office/Outlook customers. Whether or not people actually use the tool is frankly unrelated to how many customers they can report as "using" a tool.
