I use the MS Office 365 subscription, as it comes with multiple licenses, each of which has 1 TB of OneDrive space. OneDrive is great for syncing files between my PCs and my phone. I use it for non-critical files, e.g., files that I don't care are on the net, meaning nothing like personal financial files. The $99.99 cost per year is worth it to me.

Well ... I just discovered that MS is jacking the annual price up to $129.99.

So with a bit of searching, I discovered it's because MS has included CoPilot in MS Office ... which I have no use for. I immediately found the setting to turn it off.

Then I found this site, which explains how to get MS to back off. It requires canceling the subscription, at which point MS offers the old price for Office "Basic" without CoPilot.
