Doesn't the GitHub Copilot extension come with VSCode by default? Does every VSCode install count as a GitHub Copilot install?

As far as I know, the extension is not installed by default. Copilot is integrated into the IDE, but you still need to sign in to Github and enable it to use it, and I think only then does it count as an installation. (I might be wrong though, any Microsoft developers want to chime in?)

Looking at my VS Code IDE (recently updated), I have Copilot integrated but it's not yet installed by default: https://ibb.co/rKd6tsxy

Does updating GitHub Copilot extension counts as install counts? or is only "new installs"?

Great dashboard.

Yes, every update also counts as an install. Also worth noting that Github Copilot became bundled in VS Code by default at some point, but I'm not sure how it's reflected in the install count.
