The announcement was timed to coincide with Microsoft's Open Enrollment period - which opens in November.

Nope, the changes don't take effect for two years.

If you're switching to an HSA and anticipate good health in the near term, you could benefit from switching early and saving the unused portion of Microsoft's contribution to the HSA in your account, or otherwise contributing and allowing it to appreciate as savings.

So yes, it could be helpful information for future planning.
