Both things can be right: Claude costing too much and migrating employees to copilot, which hopefully will decrease cost as it owns the product, which will in turn increase usage and feedback.

Not sure I see the parallel with the point you were making

Anecdotally from people I know from MS is that adhoc slack usage was popular up until lockdown, at which point more resources was poured into Teams due to everything going remote and internal slacks were frowned upon.

I see a parallel here where a competitor's product is taking over and MS leaders see it becoming an existential problem and are putting their foot down and pushing internal users to the company's products.

Also if half the company don't even want to use something made by the other half it's a bad look lol

I see, thanks for clarifying (I also know people who used to use slack internally to MS).
