ComputerWorld.com reported that “The little reporting done about OpenAI’s suite says it will focus on collaborative document editing, include automated meeting transcriptions; have team chat capabilities; and be tightly integrated with ChatGPT.” The July 15, 2025 article entitled ” OpenAI goes for Microsoft’s jugular — its Office productivity suite” (https://www.computerworld.com/article/4021949/openai-goes-for-microsofts-jugular-its-office-productivity-suite.html) included these comments:
The relationship between Microsoft and OpenAI, once the biggest bromance in the tech industry, has deteriorated so badly that the companies are now mulling taking “nuclear options” against one another — actions that could seriously damage both companies.
At issue is how much Microsoft’s $13 billion investment in OpenAI will be worth if OpenAI goes public, as it plans to do. The companies are locked in an increasingly bitter battle over how Microsoft’s investment should be valued.
OpenAI has already hinted at moves that could get the US government to prosecute Microsoft for AI-related anti-trust violations, which could force the company to spin off its AI products. Microsoft, in turn, might shut off negotiations with OpenAI, putting any IPO — and the company’s future — at risk.
Interesting! What do you think?
