Copilot is not a new operating system. It's an upgrade to Office 365 that just got released in November.

40% of the Fortune 100 have already been using a beta version since May. “Customers tell us that once they use Copilot, they can’t imagine work without it,” Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told analysts on a conference call last week.

"The feature that appears in Word, Excel and other Office programs will cost $30 per person per month. That can add up to more than $10 billion in annualized revenue by 2026, Piper Sandler analysts Brent Bracelin and Hannah Rudoff wrote in a note to clients earlier this week."
