Microsoft pauses Claude Code rollout after Satya intervention

Following up on my earlier post \- Microsoft has officially paused further Claude Code deployment across the company after guidance from Satya and senior leadership. Employees are now being directed to use GitHub Copilot. The internal messaging claims Copilot has "mostly closed the gaps" with Claude Code. Exceptions exist for "high-priority R&D" who can still get Anthropic API access with justification. People who already had access get to keep it, but new invites have been rolled back.
