       #Microsoft is clearly becoming desperate due to low adoption rates of #Copilot.Apparently, Microsoft is now pushing Copilot to all #Microsoft365 personal subscribers and calling it a "subscription price increase". Only when you decide to cancel your subscription are you presented with the option to switch to "Microsoft 365 Personal Classic" without Copilot (and nearly the old price). The classic plan is not presented as an option unless you try to cancel your subscription.This is a classic scammy trick: Modify the existing plan and add the feature no one wants and hide the old plan from view. Presto, now you have an insane adoption rate you can present to investors as a great success.I personally don't use Microsoft subscription services, so I don't know if they tried this bullshit in the EU, but if they did, they're asking for trouble. They got sued in Australia over this already: https://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/microsoft-in-court-for-allegedly-misleading-millions-of-australians-over-microsoft-365-subscriptions "Microsoft in court for allegedly misleading millions of Australians over Microsoft 365 subscriptions"

       It's been really fun watching this from my perspective over the years. The company literally tried to kill what is now their current cash cow, and dumped billions in the dumpster for a line of products they had no understand of once they got fat enough. Now they can't even afford the pet project as they need to leverage more into AI while at the same time losing all their investments in AI to the next open source revolution they ignored. It's kind of amazing.

       @sun @harrysintonen our kms server hasn't been able to license ms server 25 instances because their sales reps keep dodging the upgrade and doing copilot presentations instead, while also shaking us down with a spla audit

       @i >>  sales reps keep dodging the upgrade and doing copilot presentations insteadJFC, get rid of them.   There's bound to be a reseller around who won't just plain ignore you. @sun @harrysintonen
