I pasted directly from MS's site: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/licensing/news/2026-m365-pac... Sorry if my comment was not clear, but my commment has an em dash because MS used one, and they likely use Copilot to write the blog :D

That quote is really funny because it reads like a parody. Next time just use quotation marks and add a link to the source.

It is a parody. Inovation, value, security - things which Microsoft strugles to deliver since 30 years.

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?

It’s pure gold for contractors trying to snow clients. The people who used to struggle to produce a good looking document can now quickly produce something without visible tells that they have no idea what they’re talking about, even though they still have no idea.

hey AI, your em dash is showing.

It is customary to start a quoted paragraph (e. blockquote) with a greater then symbol (>) e.g.:

> This is a quoted paragraph

It is then expected that you share some insights or opinions on the paragraph you quoted. Just pasting a quote without any context nor markers makes it look you these are your own words.

Copilot actually can search outlook emails on Mac. This is the greatest achievement of any AI.

Sarcasm? The new Mac outlook also stores each email as a separate plain text tarball of HTML. It’s the greatest unintentional Microsoft feature ever because you can finally read all your email however you please

Splotlight search might work, but until copilot, trying to search your own email in New Outlook wouldn't find emails literally right in front of your nose, on the screen.

It might be standard terminology but to outsiders like me it sounds like an over-the-top parody of corporate speak.

I always hoped we could make "cinematic universe" for really enormous refactorings.

I thought there was a new level above epic - theme I think?
