    heres what they gotta do:

    get peeps interested

    nobody cares about copilot cuz its just another chatgpt for them.

    paid copilot accounts get the actual “copiliting” functionality, where it can

    • read ur microsoft-native files
    • perform multiple edits across them
    • interact with ur one drive stuff
    • do - what they call “data analysis” on crazy long excel files
    • some other stuff, iduno, never paid for it

    so like - the actual “copiliting” part, where it can actually do stuff agentically is a paid thing.

    they gotta give free users a way to use this stuff, so that some of them go “oh, okay, I might use this some time”. this way, instead of advertising LM stuff big-time, they show us LM stuff big time, and some peeps go “okay fine, imma ask management if we can get the full version of this”.

    for free users, Microsofts copilot really is just another chatgpt… which is unfortunate, cuz they built some quite impressive scaffolding to integrate with their stuff, but its all paywalled.

    oh yea btw - this is not me saying “copilot is actually good”, but rather “peeps dont kno what Microsoft is trying to sell”.

    if they dont watch out, kimi ok computer is gonna eat their lunch for free by making better scaffolding for Microsofts own proprietary file formats.

    microsoft could try to appeal to users, to then appeal to business and enterprise… but no… they dont wana.
