Fewer than 4.5% of Microsoft 365 customers pay for Copilot after three years, only 1% use it weekly, and Microsoft raised prices regardless.

This is a good time to remind everyone of LibreOffice, which is free and fantastic.

Also O&O ShutUp, which helps you turn off Windows' intrusive anti-privacy features and delete Copilot. If you'd like to learn more I made a video about Windows privacy earlier this year.

Chris Titus' cleanup tools have a Microsoft AI removal tool, and also runs the O&O Shutup tool. I can't vouch for it because I don't use Windows but I believe the toolkit is pretty good.

Libre Office can read the douments your doctors send you for free. TAKE THAT! MICROSLOP!

We love a good, free product without any meaningful difference in functionality. :)

The difference is you don't have to pay unless you feel like donating
