The developers voted with their feet and didn’t use Copilot.

What Microsoft were hoping was that the opposite would happen...

I suspect the people responsible have fully justified to themselves any decisions they made, helped along with any bonuses they got for doing it.

I’m no expert, but a bit of googling tells us.

The laws around bankruptcy define the priority of who gets paid and in what order:

- Secured Claims

- Unsecured Priority Claims

- Unsecured Non-Priority Claims (General Unsecured)

- Equity Security Interests

Each layer has to be paid in full before the next layer.

Unsecured Priority Claims - this includes customers who have paid for services.
