So if Microshaft is going to install these products automatically with my copy of Windows, the tools are free to use, right?
I may finally pull the plug on my full conversion to Linux this or next year. I already dual-boot and have been a single inconvenience away from kicking Windows Spyware Edition to the curb, anyways.
Just get it done and don't look back
*conversion
Thanks!
That's sort of the joke of it all. Microsoft needs to tell their investors "We sold AI to 100 million new users!" to justify these bloated investments in OpenAI.
So instead of selling it as DLC, they just shave off a chunk of the 365 subscriptions and say "that was people paying for AI".
