Microsoft bundles AI into Office for consumers.

didn't google just do the same thing?
not enough people springing for the ai-addon by itself, so they just force it on everyone instead, at a 'lower-but-still-higher' price.
I cancelled my Kagi subscription for a similar reason, didn't wanna fund their AI tool development.
So will business customers be able to disable the AI “features”?
This is only for non business plans, and the article says that the AI features can be disabled. But who knows what "disabled" actually means. Doing the same price increase for business users would be a much harder sell and would affect a lot more people, but I'm sure it's coming
Double whammy
OpenOffice, folks.
*libreoffice
Just not MS.
Edit: yah, OpenOffice development has stalled out.
