This is useful information for Microsoft 365 subscribers. The notification I got about the price rise said nothing about them bundling AI into the new price. And certainly nothing about the option of sticking with the old plan & price, without AI.

@soonleenz I’ve never allowed them to get me into recurring billing - instead I keep an eye on Amazon around prime day (or similar discount periods) and grab a MS365 Family pack when cheap (typically £50) and apply that license code to my account.
That’s saved me hundreds of pounds over several years - it’s the equivalent to always being on an intro offer.

@nmeth @soonleenz If you know anyone at MS, they have a few friends and family passes for the company store. The M365 family pack is around £20 there. One of the last things I did before I quit was get six years worth of vouchers (you can apply up to six years in advance, I applied five immediately and then the sixth the day after the subscription rolled over to the next year). £20/year is worth it for my mother not to have to deal with people sending her MS Office documents that LibreOffice mangles.
