"Microsoft did no such thing" was about this post's headline, that Microsoft limited the students' storage. It did not. I changed the wording because "no such" is too strong since they did adjust pricing model 'plans', and they did give some (stupid) talking points McGill copy-pasted. Not sure what 'thread' you mean. If you mean Twitter, you are correct, I did not 'actually read the [Twitter] thread', I went to source at McGill and linked that here, then further linked to Microsoft policy update after using Kagi to find the Microsoft propoganda regurgitated by McGill: https://kagi.com/search?q=Microsoft%20is%20introducing%20changes%20to%20our%20service%20offering%20across%20our%20Microsoft%20365%20Education%20suite%20that%20require%20us%20to%20place%20limits%20on%20storage.%20As%20of%20May%2031st%2C%202024%2C%20students%20will%20have%2020GB%20(Gigabytes)%20of%20OneDrive%20storage%20space%2C%20in%20addition%20to%2020GB%20of%20Outlook%20email%20storage https://kagi.com/search?q=Microsoft%20is%20introducing%20cha.... To be clear, Microsoft is not making McGill limit student storage: "Every institution’s tenant has a 100TB base storage capacity. Microsoft 365 and Office 365 A3 and A5 paid user licenses add 50GB or 100GB respectively to the pool of storage. In addition, institutions can purchase additional pooled storage in 10TB increments for $300 estimated retail USD monthly to add to the tenant pool. To find your capacity, use this calculation: 100TB + (#A3 paid users x 50GB) + (#A5 paid users x 100 GB) + (additional storage purchased) = capacity/limit." McGill is making a choice, there is a reasonable price to maintain whatever pool McGill want, and Microsoft's argument for matching Google academic threshold drop was posted 6 months ago, no scramble needed.
