> At the same time, Microsoft will likely replicate Windsurf and Cursor's features within a year. And deliver them with far greater stability and polish.

We've seen this before with Office.

We'll see it again.

They don't even need to be good - just in the bundle you (your company) are already paying for and the competition can't compete.

At the speed that AI programming is going, there will be something else that they are falling behind of that will exist in a year. Just like Agents now, they are adding them, but will always be a step behind progress.

...as done with Teams.

Microsoft Build is this month [0] and it will tell where they are going next (other than price cuts).

I'm expecting disappointment for now, but also expecting GitHub Copilot to be upgraded. Then we'll see if they are ahead or so far behind.
