Microsoft 365 Copilot launched with no warning at the start of the New Year .

The company raised the price of its popular productivity app, Microsoft 365.

Copilot is Microsoft 365's flagship productivity app.

The response from customers has been overwhelmingly negative, says Roland Martin .

Martin : Copilot's AI is still very, very rough.

Microsoft 365 subscribers can downgrade to a Classic plan, minus the price hike.

Copilot will still generate an additional $1.714 billion annually , Copilot says.

The price hike is so big that there will still be a huge positive impact even if 10% of Microsoft 365 customers cancel.
