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).

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?

Any word on 'A' (Education) licenses? A1/A2/A3?

It makes no sense to use 365 anymore, there are so many other alternatives
