The difference between the two, is the icon in the upper right of
the MSEdge window, seems to be "anchored" to your ID better than
the separate CoPilot icon in the taskbar. It uses your ID, so as you
switch from device to device, your CoPilot "session" could follow you.

The interface alternates between the msn.com quality "fill" and
the option of just asking you to input your query. The graphics
at startup are not a constant. The fill may be local time of day
sensitive (like having an article about the best way to fry
a sausage, at breakfast time).
