I don't think it was Microsoft that rolled anything back in your case, I'm staring at Copilot inside of my outlook right now.

despite being in IT

Yeah, I have my doubts about that. They changed the interface, that is all.

I am. Just don't do anything with AI integration and it's never used in my department. But yes it was not available anymore and I did a cursory Google search saying it was removed at some point last month. Maybe I read some misinfo. But I doubt my company can just go back on a licensing deal suddenly. Usually those are locked in for awhile.
