    That’s not such a big deal. Their objective is to get people hooked on the system. After that, they’ll jack up the price. Microsoft can easily afford to lose money for several years in pursuit of that target.

    (One way this plan could fall through is if LLM tech progresses to the extent that free and open source copilots, run locally, can give result that are just as good.)

      MS might be in trouble then.

      Performance is not great but apparently it’s not optimized at all as of right now.
