   Not at all that surprising. There enterprise offering is barely acceptable and they have continued to drop the ball on having half decent Cowork solution.

   They have all rights to win with their existing enterprise agreement but wow it’s amazing to see how bad their product cadence and decision making is. All they needed to do was copy Claude Cowork like OpenAI did.

      Yeah the difference with Microsoft though is they actually hold the enterprise data and have been entrusted with doing so. So if Microsoft’s AI bypasses the governance guards a company puts in place on data that lives in O365, they are liable. With Cowork and OpenAI the liability is on the employee who is misusing the data because the company did not go into any governance agreement with Anthropic or OpenAI.

         Eh I guess? I just said they have all rights to win because of existing agreements. Most enterprises have already banned OpenAI/Anthropic from their networks unless an agreement was put into place. So yes they have all rights to win this but their product is so bad that there is a healthy oppportunity that does not happen.

            Are you using Copilot as a daily driver? Because all people I talk to that use it as a daily driver in enterprise have only said it keeps getting better and better.

            Microsoft took a safer approach to copilot rollout because of enterprise data protection, OpenAI/Anthropic rolled out their best to get people hooked and elected to figure out the data protection later.
