You're right: strange how they keep shoving things nobody wants in the name of their product - first "Office" became "Microsoft 365" (subscription-only), then "with Copilot" (opt-out upsell) and now the mandatory Copilot upsell.

The silver lining is, small and medium-sized companies are increasingly ditching the pricey offering for employees who don't have document editing a major part of their duties, making them realize LibreOffice is now good enough for their personal needs.

    I sure hope that's true, but I've seen more companies switch to lower cost licenses with restrictions like only being able to use the webapp than I have seen switch to LibreOffice.

    As long as Microsoft keeps offering ways to easily disable the shit nobody asked for in corporare environments/deployments I'm afraid the stranglehold will persist.
