    So if Microshaft is going to install these products automatically with my copy of Windows, the tools are free to use, right?

    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”.
