Microsoft has wasted their opportunity.

When ChatGPT first came out, Satya and Microsoft were seen as visionaries for their wisdom in investing in Open AI. Then competitors caught up while Microsoft stood still. Their integration with ChatGPT produced poor results [1] reminding people of Tay [2]. Bing failed to capitalize on AI, while Proclarity showed what an AI-powered search engine should really look like. Copilot failed to live up to its promise. Then Claude.ai, Gemini 2.0 caught up with or exceeded ChatGPT, and Microsoft still doesn't have their own model.

Probably but it might not matter. They don't really need to compete on quality, just the simplicity of selling a suite that's bundled together to enterprise in the same way they did with Teams which is inferior to Slack in pretty much everyway (last time I had to use it anyway). Isn't their advantage always sales and distribution? Maybe its different this time, I don't know.
