300 seat minimum and Inclusiveness?
I am curious and believe there needs to be discussion around how the decision to have a 300 seat minimum figures into inclusiveness efforts? This decision seems to run counter to several of Microsoft's stated guiding principles for responsible AI, primarily Inclusiveness and Fairness. By imposing this minimum, they seemingly have intentionally cut out small businesses, non-profits, and other organizations that would tremendously benefit from the strategic application of M365 Copilot.
Doesn't making this emerging technology available only to larger enterprise customers who can afford what amounts to an 108k yearly minimum further divide the business world and give those larger entities even more of an advantage over smaller ones?
- This is a complete failure on Microsoft's side. Nowhere in the public facing marketing does it state the 300 seat minimum. Nowhere on the public facing marketing does it state that this is not available via CSP. I now have a very pissed off customer who is asking why we cannot do as Microsoft is telling them we can do. Microsoft, you need to do better. A lot better.
