Hoho, Microsoft are rolling out E7 license... with a bunch of AI junk.

"Microsoft 365 E7 unifies Microsoft 365 E5, Microsoft 365 Copilot and Agent 365 into a single solution powered by Work IQ"

For those not in enterprise IT, a significant amount of IT budget goes on E5 licensing. A lot of companies can't afford it. So Microsoft are trying to upsell it with AI stuff, as that stuff is CIO pornography.

Microsoft E7 license is $99 per user per month, or $12k for 10 people per year. CIOs who buy this are going to lead to their own staff getting laid off.
