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).

You worded that as if you speak for Microsoft, but your account is 2 days old and this is your first comment, which makes me suspect you are a karma-farming bot.

so a long way of saying: we need to fund our AI.

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.

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?

Had a clueless business analyst get Copilot to write a bunch of stories for an epic, then when she had a meeting with me (and three other people!) to go through the stories I had to tell them that 90% of what they had done was wrong.

If they'd come to me from the outset I could have told them the one story title and handful of acceptance criteria that was required but instead we wasted 5 person hours and whatever Copilot costs.

Probably worse productivity because now I have to read paragraphs of emails that could have been sentences.

We've lost customers over the increased price.
