Microsoft has built the most comprehensive enterprise AI stack in the industry, but inconsistent adoption and mixed consumer reception may hold them back.
Excellent breakdown of the adoption paradox. The 90% Fortune 500 claim versus 1% enterprise-wide deployment metric is the crux here, it shows how Microsoft's been conflating pilots with production use to maintain growth narrative. From what I've observed, the $30/user/month economics don't pencil out for most orgs when you factor in the integration and change management costs requried to actually get value from Copilot.
It always comes back to ROI: if users aren’t getting value from these tools, organizations have no reason to continue integrating beyond pilot projects.
