Former executive says Microsoft’s AI strategy faltered, with Copilot paid usage below 3%

前高管称微软 AI 布局失利，Copilot 付费使用率不足 3%

Former Microsoft executive Matt Veloso said Microsoft generated about $30 billion from its AI partnership between 2023 and 2025, while related costs reached $100 billion; he also said actual usage among paid Copilot users is below 3%.

Why it matters: HKR-H/K/R all pass: a former executive gives concrete Microsoft AI cost, revenue, and Copilot usage numbers. Kept at 80 because this is a single former-exec claim, not an official Microsoft disclosure.
