Copilot sounds amazing on paper. The free (to 365 subs) version on the web is just Chat GPT4, so that's familiar enough. The integration with 365 applications is really what grabs me.

I met with Microsoft last week and they're down for giving me a 90 day trial if I want to take it for a spin. Any thoughts or suggestions? I ideally want to determine if this will improve productivity for my end users enough to be worth the insane cost of $30/user/mo.
They've been forcing people to update, thankfully W11's forced AI bullshit makes it require quite a few gigs to install, so if your drive is limited on space you can just flat out prevent them from forcing the update onto you.
