Software engineers at Microsoft are now expected to use both Claude Code and GitHub Copilot and give feedback comparing the two, I’m told. Microsoft sells GitHub Copilot as its AI coding tool of choice to its customers, but if these broad internal pilot programs are successful, then it’s possible the company could even eventually sell Claude Code directly to its cloud customers.

Guys? Are we going to have to rename Microsoft products from Copilot to Claude soon?

Microsoft Claude 365?

My girlfriend is forced to use only Copilot at her work, and its just completely useless. She frequently posts me failed tasks it couldnt do. :).

Seems to be the worst Ai by far.

GitHub copilot within visual studio is not bad actually, if it doesn't find anything to but typos then congrats your team is all competent senior developers...

It does cut down review time for juniors' work, and it's capable of implementing full features given the correct documentation and instructions. It's a useful tool that assists and doesn't replace competent developers.

Its only core competency is convincing idiot c-suites that they should force their org to use copilot
