Comment on Microsoft announces it will automatically install the Copilot AI app alongside desktop versions of 365 products like Word, Excel and PowerPoint this October

So if Microshaft is going to install these products automatically with my copy of Windows, the tools are free to use, right?

I may finally pull the plug on my full conversation to Linux this or next year. I already dual-boot and have been a single inconvenience away from kicking Windows Spyware Edition to the curb, anyways.

That’s sort of the joke of it all. Microsoft needs to tell their investors “We sold AI to 100 million new users!” to justify these bloated investments in OpenAI.

So instead of selling it as DLC, they just shave off a chunk of the 365 subscriptions and say “that was people paying for AI”.
