Microsoft Copilot, The Truth Behind the Hype!

In this short video I’ll discuss a recent article by tech reporter, Mary Jo Foley on what truly lies behind the launch of Microsoft 365 Copilot AI feature. With Microsoft in marketing overdrive, the reality is turning out to be far more disappointing than first anticipated. Delays, pricing and availability issues are causing frustration not simply customers, but also the technical community who have been unable to verify Microsoft’s claims that this amazing product will change our world. So in this short 10 min video I’ll explain exactly what the issues are and the critical top 10 facts that you need to know before spending any money.

Perfect timing putting this video out Andy, it helped me answer searching questions from a Client this morning!

Thanks for this enlightening video. From sources within Microsoft, Copilot is also NOT yet available for CSP clients, only for EA.

My biggest concern is the data protection compliance requirements

[belph]

It also does not only require a M365 E3 or E5 subscription but an Enterprise Agreement is what our reseller tells us. So we are out of luck with 750 E3 in CSP

In data leakage consideratuon, we didn't encourage usera put files in Onedrive. Sharepoint is using for collaboration but not to much. Should we adopt M365 copilot?

at 300 users + E licences + teams premium, the product might as well not exist. Rather than it requiring a certain size of dataset, I think the real reason why Microsoft has got the limit in place, is that dit cannot procure sufficient AI hardware capacity at a decent price. The graphics and AI chip manufacturers are charging exploitative pricing, like they did during the crypto bubble.

Here in the U.S. I have been an insider and have been running all the different versions that I need and have seen it evolve. Right now I'm enjoying the early-release versions. Out of the beta phase.

Not quite sure what to expect, yes we do we don't have anything no co-pilot because no one can afford it. This is just ridiculous

[jnielsen]

Keep in mind that Microsoft has renamed Bing Chat to Microsoft Copilot which is obviously different from M365 Copilot.

Are you sure the offer means you have to purchase all 300 seats x$30-$50 each? Meaning minimum $9k-$15k upfront..?
I was under the impression it is for UP TO 300 users (paid per user). So a small business of 5 could surely still purchase it. Is that wrong?

[mitreg]

Even if you show a program code to copilot, chatgtp and bard, they can't do anything

[PrinceJohn]

Very informative Andy. Thank you for sharing!

[iangriffiths]

Can't stop looking at that board rubber!

[AhmadZahida]

I'm so disappointed with Microsoft. In order to stay competitive, they need to change their marketing team and marketing strategy !!!

[mossywan]

I believe the 300 user limit has now been removed.
