A Register reader got in touch after using the Microsoft 365 Plan Chooser. Answer six questions via the tool, and a result with a recommended plan will be displayed. This might be the Business Basic plan for $6 per user per month for an annual subscription, the $12.50 Business Standard plan, or the mighty $22 Microsoft 365 Business Premium.

Our reader mused: “If I follow the menu choices, it always selects Microsoft 365 Business Premium as the outcome.”

Accepting the challenge, and because we still remember the excitement when a new Steve Jackson tome hit the shelves, we decided to try for ourselves, urged on by our reader: “Have a go and see if you can get it to choose another outcome…”

As with many Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books, there appears to be a key question: “Do you have access to an IT professional for advanced support and services?” Say yes, and almost all paths lead to the premium option. Say no, and basic or standard await.
