Finally! Microsoft just shared an update on the Microsoft 365 Developer Program.
There's not much meat in it but it hints at Microsoft working on making it available again for free (don't quote me on this).

Keep telling yourself that.
I don't think Trump, Vance, or most Americans understand how much pain we're willing to endure to outlast them on this. We know it's going to hurt a lot and for a long time. We don't have another choice though. This is about our existence and we are not going to give in.

She didn't know about nearly half a billion dollars worth of contracts?
For perspective, that's about 5% of the ENTIRE AB Health budget.
Not only do I not believe that she didn't know, if she truly didn't, think about how badly mismanaged this is. Especially given the importance she ascribed.
