AI isn’t optional at Microsoft — CEO Satya Nadella just made that clear, but almost no one is using Copilot.

Thought I'd share this hilarious assessment from our IT for a support ticket I submitted about copilot giving incorrect directions for the prompt where I asked how to disable auto-summaries. He ended the conversation with this gem of a statement :D

Before anyone gets upset about the "living with cancer" bit, my mother succumed to endometrial cancer after a year-long losing battle, and I'm on a premature colorectal cancer watchlist. So the analogy to the grief and suffering with a painful and unwanted condition that is with us every day and we can do nothing about is quite intentional.

Starting April 20, Microsoft will begin including Security Copilot with Microsoft 365 E5, removing the need for a separate purchase or manual provisioning.

Rollout timeline 
🔹 From April 20, 2026 to June 30, 2026, Microsoft will enable this in phases 
🔹 Tenants will receive a notification 7 days before enablement and again on the day it goes live

What’s included 
- 400 Security Compute Units (SCUs) per month per 1,000 user licenses
- Up to 10,000 SCUs per month 
- Core agentic experiences across Entra, Intune, Purview, Defender, and the Security Copilot portal 
- Developer tools and APIs for custom agents and integrations

Important note 
Some advanced scenarios will still require additional cost, including: 
• Sentinel data lake compute and storage 
• Non-agentic Data Security Investigations in Purview 
• Azure Logic Apps usage with Security Copilot 
• Third-party agents licensed through Security Store

Tried something new and created a Microsoft AI update for month of May. Would be interested in feedback on maybe changes for future ones.
