Illustrator for Copilot+ PCs: Wanted, Dead or Alive?

Dear Adobe,

It's July 29th, and your communications about the Illustrator release for Microsoft Copilot+ PCs are as sparse as a Western ghost town at high noon. We're left squinting at the horizon, hoping to see the Illustrator stagecoach roll in, but all we hear is tumbleweeds.

While software development can be as unpredictable as a quick-draw contest, a smoke signal or two wouldn't hurt. We're not asking for a daily telegraph, but some news would be mighty appreciated.

As I saddle up for vacation, I can't help but wonder: will I return to find Illustrator finally in town, or will I need to mosey on over to Affinity's saloon if this radio silence persists?

Looking forward to some news that isn't as elusive as a mirage in the desert heat!

It's been a year and there's STILL no After Effects or Illustrator for my Snapdragon+ PC. I've been skating by with the beta version of Illustrator, but now even that is no longer available to me. I'm really disappointed in Adobe for being unable to keep up with the progression of PCs. If I buy a new computer I want it to last a few years even as technology advances: apparently, Adobe is completely unprepared for processors to improve and advance. After loosing support for Adobe XD last year, and the terrible experience with this in the past few months, I'm looking into Abobe alternatives; I reccomend everyone else do the same.

Hello @cadiec71023771,

Would you mind sharing more details, like the version of the OS installed and the error message you get when trying to install/launch Illustrator (beta), so I can better assist you?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

When will the PLUG-INS be available for Illustrator (Beta)? The Softmatic Plug-In people say it is a simple Java script.

I had the beta version installed and yesterday it quit working. I am so frustrated at the delay and unreliability of this product; which I pay monthly for. My business relies heavily on Illustrator and I feel like I am left hanging and all I did was buy a new laptop.

Please give for access throgh beta for this Versions.

What exactly is Microsoft Copilot supposed to do in relation to Adobe Illustrator? Isn't Copilot just some newfangled chat bot? Anyone running Windows 11 is going to see the Copilot icon on the task bar. I have had zero urge to launch it.
