Microsoft trims cloud desktop pricing, even as it boosts AI costs
Microsoft has reduced pricing for its cloud desktop services (Windows 365, Azure Virtual Desktop) while simultaneously increasing costs related to AI features. The company is offering new per-user pricing options and removing some minimum user requirements, making cloud desktops more accessible for smaller organizations. However, these savings are offset by higher fees for AI-powered capabilities like Microsoft Copilot, creating a complex pricing landscape for enterprise customers.
