Microsoft is committed to delivering continuous innovation and value through Microsoft 365. Over the past several years, we’ve invested deeply in security, compliance, productivity, AI, and IT management— helping organizations stay productive, secure, and competitive in a rapidly evolving landscape. This change reflects the significant innovation delivered over the past several years and the added value customers will gain with new additions to the suites, including major advancements in AI (ex. Copilot Chat, Copilot Chat Analytics), security (ex. Microsoft Defender for Office P1), and IT management (ex. Intune Suite).
Now, instead of incremental UI changes, we can parade an infinite array of slop features to justify lifetime subscriptions by businesses, because, what are they going to do, learn something else?

No one who takes their job seriously uses Copilot anything.
so a long way of saying: we need to fund our AI.

If AI is so great, these price rises will pay for themselves many times over.....
Have any HNer's experienced or observed any productivity increases, or even any utility increases from co pilot?
We've lost customers over the increased price.
