Microsoft Copilot Studio is Microsoft’s low‑code, enterprise‑grade studio for building, customizing, and operating AI‑powered copilots — conversational agents that can read your data, run workflows, and take actions across Microsoft 365, the Power Platform, Azure, and external systems. It’s the evolution of Power Virtual Agents into a single, richer authoring and governance surface that combines generative AI, connectors, action orchestration, and enterprise controls; organizations can...

Microsoft’s recent market ascent isn’t just another tech rally — it’s the result of a deliberate playbook that converts decades of enterprise lock‑in into recurring, high‑margin AI revenue, and that strategy could leave Microsoft standing when the current AI exuberance fades. Background / Overview Microsoft’s valuation has moved into the stratosphere as investors price AI adoption into the company’s future cash flows. The market now places Microsoft within reach of a...

ZainTECH’s announcement that Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute is now available on the Azure Marketplace for Kuwaiti customers marks a practical inflection point in the country’s public‑ and private‑sector cloud strategy, combining local carrier delivery, international backbone reach, and hyperscaler platform access in a single procurement pathway. Background Kuwait’s long‑running digital modernization agenda — frequently referenced under the government’s Vision 2035 objective to diversify the...

Microsoft Azure’s new NDv6 GB300 VM series has brought the industry’s first production-scale cluster of NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 systems online for OpenAI, stitching together more than 4,600 NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs with NVIDIA Quantum‑X800 InfiniBand to create a single, supercomputer‑scale platform purpose‑built for the heaviest inference and reasoning workloads. Background / Overview The NDv6 GB300 announcement is a milestone in the continuing co‑engineering between cloud providers and...

Microsoft has set a firm deadline: Windows 10’s mainstream support ends on October 14, 2025, but a narrowly scoped one‑year lifeline — the consumer Extended Security Updates (ESU) program — can keep eligible PCs receiving security patches through October 13, 2026 if you enroll. Background / Overview Microsoft first announced Windows 10’s end‑of‑support date months ago and followed up with a consumer ESU pathway intended as a temporary bridge for people who can’t (or won’t) move to Windows 11...

Microsoft Edge is quietly pushing the same soft‑sell tactic tech companies have used for years: make a helpful feature extremely visible, then nudge users toward it until it becomes habitual — only this time the feature is an AI rewrite tool that can appear any time you select text in a web text box. Recent reporting and community testing indicate Microsoft is experimenting in Edge Canary with an automatic floating suggestion for Rewrite with Copilot — a small, persistent nudge that offers...

Microsoft’s formal support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025, but a narrowly tailored one‑year lifeline—the Windows 10 Consumer Extended Security Updates (ESU) programme—lets eligible PCs keep receiving security‑only patches through October 13, 2026 if owners enroll. Background / Overview Windows 10 was the default desktop experience for the last decade, but vendor lifecycles are finite. Microsoft has fixed October 14, 2025 as the end‑of‑support date for mainstream Windows 10...

Microsoft's latest Insider preview effectively closes the easiest doors that let people set up Windows 11 with a purely local account during the Out‑of‑Box Experience (OOBE), and for privacy‑minded users the timing is provocative enough to push a real conversation about whether now is the right time to switch a daily driver from Windows to Linux. Background: what Microsoft changed and why it matters Microsoft’s Windows Insider notes for the October 6, 2025 Dev/Beta previews include two...

Microsoft has quietly put its weight behind a widely reported troubleshooting tip: two built‑in Windows features — OneDrive file syncing and the system visual effects — can materially slow down a PC, and Microsoft’s own “tips to improve PC performance” guidance now lists pausing OneDrive and trimming visual effects among the fastest, reversible ways to recover responsiveness on older or weaker hardware. Background Windows has steadily moved toward deeper cloud integration and more visually...

Google Cloud's launch of Gemini Enterprise marks a decisive push to make generative AI an everyday productivity tool for knowledge workers, placing a multimodal, agent-driven platform squarely in competition with Microsoft 365 Copilot and OpenAI's enterprise offerings and promising a $30-per-seat entry point for mainstream enterprise adoption. Background / Overview Enterprise AI has moved from isolated pilots to platform wars. Over the last two years vendors have stopped selling models alone...

Harvard Medical School’s consumer-facing publisher has agreed to license its vetted health content to Microsoft so the company can feed trusted medical and wellness information into its Copilot AI assistant — a move that brings a prestigious source of clinical guidance into the mainstream of a major AI product while raising immediate questions about safety, liability, and how “trusted” content will be presented inside large-language-model-driven experiences. Background Harvard Health...

The Cypriot government has launched a targeted digital upgrade of the public administration with the staged introduction of Microsoft Copilot — a generative AI assistant — awarding 350 user licences in the first phase and promising training and governance measures as part of a broader push to modernize public services and harness artificial intelligence across government operations. Background Cyprus has been steadily advancing a public-sector digital strategy over the past two years...

Microsoft’s pivot from software stalwart to AI infrastructure powerhouse is no longer a strategy memo — it is the defining force behind a multitrillion‑dollar valuation and a torrent of capital, deals, and operational change that together make the stock one of the clearest risk/reward plays inside the AI bubble. Background / Overview Microsoft’s fiscal performance and corporate moves over the past twelve months show a company accelerating its transition from traditional software licensing to...

I switched to Windows 11 because the combination of modern security, focused productivity improvements, and the platform’s AI roadmap finally outweighed the inertia of a decade with Windows 10 — and that decision was made easier (and more urgent) by Microsoft’s announced end‑of‑support deadline for Windows 10. Background / Overview Microsoft set a firm lifecycle milestone: Windows 10 will reach end of support on October 14, 2025, after which standard security updates, feature updates, and...

Microsoft’s decision to end free, automatic security updates for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025 is more than a product lifecycle milestone — it is a social and environmental fault line that risks widening the digital divide, accelerating electronic waste (e‑waste), and shifting essential cybersecurity protections behind paywalls for millions of households and community institutions that can’t or won’t upgrade to Windows 11. Background / Overview Microsoft has set a firm end‑of‑support date...

Microsoft has quietly moved the Out‑of‑Box Experience (OOBE) for Windows 11 further into Microsoft’s cloud orbit: the latest Insider Preview builds explicitly remove the interactive shortcuts that let consumers create a purely local account during first‑run setup, effectively forcing an internet connection and a Microsoft account on the default consumer path. Background Windows setup has been evolving toward an identity‑first, cloud‑integrated model for years. Microsoft ties features such as...

Microsoft has put a firm deadline on Windows 10: routine security updates and standard support stop on October 14, 2025, and millions of PCs now face three clear choices—upgrade, buy time with Extended Security Updates (ESU), or accept growing risk and migrate to a different platform. Background Microsoft launched Windows 10 in 2015 and maintained it with a long lifecycle, but the company’s lifecycle calendar now sets October 14, 2025 as the end-of-support date for mainstream Windows 10...

Microsoft’s deadline is real: Windows 10 will stop receiving routine security updates and standard technical support on October 14, 2025, and users who want to remain on a supported Microsoft platform must either upgrade eligible devices to Windows 11, enroll in a time‑limited Extended Security Updates (ESU) program, or accept increasing security and compatibility risk. Background / Overview Windows 10 has been the dominant desktop operating system for much of the last decade, but...

Lenovo’s follow-up to the original Legion Go — the Legion Go 2 — is less an incremental refresh and more a purposeful redesign: the company rounded the chassis, shifted controls and ports, swapped an IPS QHD panel for an OLED landscape display, and repositioned hardware to favour longer sessions and better ergonomics rather than slimmer dimensions. Background The original Legion Go introduced a bold modular idea to Windows handhelds: a large 8.8‑inch display paired with removable TrueStrike...

If you noticed trouble reaching the Azure Portal, Microsoft Entra, or Microsoft 365 admin pages on the morning of October 9, 2025, you were seeing the visible fallout from a capacity loss in Azure Front Door (AFD) that Microsoft traced to crashed Kubernetes instances underpinning critical edge infrastructure. Background Azure Front Door is Microsoft’s global edge and application delivery service that terminates TLS, performs global load balancing and routing, and protects customer endpoints...
