I had a subscription for a year and it was absolutely worthless. Has anyone found any single worthwhile use case?
I still think there's a potential niche for 365 Copilot in its boringness. At work (not a tech company), there's an ongoing, slow, 365 rollout. The people who participate in the rollout are not technical in any way, but they all love it because they're not regular ChatGPT/Claude users, either. In a way, the restricted feature-set of Copilot compared to ChatGPT helps them, they're overwhelmed enough by Copilot. IT lov…
Boring doesn’t bring in the billions and billions in stock though

Oh that's true. If AI is a bubble, and if it implodes, then MS might be the only AI place left standing if it can get its product into all of the non-tech companies in the world.
Unsurprising. I tried it probably a year ago. I asked it what meetings were in my calendar for the day and it couldn’t even tell me that. To add insult to injury, they wanted an annual commitment with up front payment at the time.
I guess they spend their money on sales and licensing and not on developing good products now?

Many other recent Microsoft products are below average. I'm thinking Teams, Outlook, Windows 11. Azure and Office are better. I guess they spend their money on sales and licensing and not on developing good products now?

If corps ever stop needing that, MS will be in trouble. Until then, few worries. They can play at following fads (not that I think AI is a fad) and not worry about execution.
That little copilot icon is sitting there in the task tray, clickable and usable. I think people will, to whatever degree makes sense for them, get used to making some use of the basic free tier. Monetization / restrictions requiring some degree of limitations to upsell will eventually come for the currently half-billion or so Win11 users.
I get the point that few are currently paying for it, but there isn't all that much pressure to do so right now. That will come, later.

I perceive MS as just being in the "get people using it, accustomed to it, used to it, habituated to using it throughout their day" phase for the default free Win10/11 tier.
