Based solely on the article body, here is the news summary: Approximately 15 million out of roughly 450 million Microsoft 365 users are paying for Copilot, representing 3.3%. Around May 2026, Microsoft restricted in-app Copilot features in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote for unlicensed users in larger organisations, ending the free-tier experiment in Office. At roughly the same time, Microsoft scrapped Copilot on Xbox entirely. In mid-May, Windows Latest reported that Mat Velloso, a former Microsoft Partner Director and technical advisor to Satya Nadella, said Microsoft missed the AI wave the way it missed the internet and mobile. The article notes that Microsoft invested around $13 billion in OpenAI and built Copilot into numerous products, but after all that, 97% of its existing paying customers said they would rather not pay more for the AI version.
