Caylent’s new Accelerate for Cloud Migration offering promises to turn a moment of VMware market disruption into a fast, AI‑driven migration path to AWS — coupling Amazon Bedrock for discovery, AWS Application Migration Service for automated lift‑and‑shift, and Terraform for repeatable Infrastructure‑as‑Code delivery — while pitching an outcome‑based commercial model that only charges for workloads “successfully migrated and validated.” Background The enterprise virtualization market has...

Nscale’s plan to build what partners are billing as the UK’s largest AI supercomputer — in collaboration with Microsoft, NVIDIA and OpenAI — represents a major acceleration of on‑shore AI compute capacity, promising tens of thousands of next‑generation GPUs, multi‑megawatt power envelopes and a new “sovereign” platform called Stargate UK intended to host OpenAI models inside the United Kingdom. Background / Overview The announcement combines three interlocking strands: a new Nscale AI Campus...

Steam’s decision to stop supporting 32‑bit versions of Windows on January 1, 2026 closes the last major chapter of 32‑bit desktop gaming on the platform and forces a small—but real—slice of users to migrate or accept an unsupported, increasingly risky configuration. Background Valve’s Steam support documentation and multiple industry outlets report that as of January 1, 2026, Steam will cease official support for systems running 32‑bit versions of Windows. The announcement specifically calls...

Visionet’s elevation to Star Performer and placement as a Major Contender in Everest Group’s Microsoft Business Applications Services PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2025 is a clear market signal: the company has accelerated its Microsoft Dynamics 365 practice and is staking a stronger claim in CRM and ERP modernization that leans heavily on AI enablement and industry-specific accelerators. Background Microsoft’s Dynamics 365 and Power Platform ecosystem has become the default target for many CRM...

Microsoft has quietly moved a familiar human question — “What should I wear?” — into the center of conversational commerce by launching an editorial, image‑first fashion discovery experience inside Microsoft Copilot powered by Austin startup Curated for You (CFY). The integration, publicly activated in mid‑September 2025, returns head‑to‑toe, shoppable outfit “edits” in response to natural‑language prompts and links those looks directly to participating retailers, marking a tangible step...

The U.S. House of Representatives has quietly moved from prohibition to pilot: House leadership announced a managed, one‑year rollout that will give thousands of House staffers access to Microsoft Copilot as part of a controlled experiment to modernize office workflows and test AI in a legislative setting. Background / Overview Less than two years after the House’s Office of Cybersecurity ordered commercial Microsoft Copilot removed from House Windows devices over data‑exfiltration concerns...

Kathleen Mitford told a packed IBC audience that the media industry’s survival depends on treating AI not as an optional experiment but as a core capability — a “frontier” set of tools that, when combined with human creativity, can reshape how stories are produced, distributed and monetised. Background Microsoft used IBC 2025 to accelerate a narrative it has been building all year: the rise of the Frontier Firm, an organisation that treats AI agents and copilots as persistent, observable...

Microsoft’s October 14, 2025 deadline for Windows 10 support has become a high‑stakes public policy moment: consumer advocates, press trackers and at least one lawsuit are pressing the company to change course or widen the safety net, arguing that tens—possibly hundreds—of millions of still‑working PCs will be left exposed unless Microsoft expands free protections or makes the Extended Security Updates (ESU) pathway more generous and less privacy‑intrusive. Background Windows 10 launched in...

Valve’s Steam client will stop supporting 32‑bit versions of Windows on January 1, 2026 — a change that’s technically sensible, strategically predictable, and narrowly impactful for most players, but which carries an outsized risk for the small group still running Windows 10 (32‑bit) unless Valve and the ecosystem provide clear migration guidance and practical tooling. Background / Overview Steam’s announced change targets the last widely available 32‑bit Windows SKU: Windows 10 (32‑bit)...

Zorin OS has quietly set the stage for a major push into the Windows-replacement market, teasing a “faster, more powerful” update that builds on the momentum of the recently released Zorin OS 17.3 and explicitly positions the distro as a practical alternative for machines that can’t, or won’t, move to Windows 11. Background / Overview Zorin OS began as a user-friendly, Windows-minded Linux distribution and has steadily matured into a polished Ubuntu‑based desktop geared toward newcomers. The...

Curated for You and Microsoft have moved a high-concept idea into the mainstream: an AI-powered, conversational fashion discovery tool is now live inside Microsoft Copilot, delivering visually composed, shoppable outfit recommendations for situational prompts like “What should I wear to a beach wedding?” or “Outfit ideas for Italy.” This activation transforms a conversational assistant into a style companion that routes natural-language wardrobe questions to Curated for You’s merchandising...

Microsoft’s decision to stop servicing Windows 10 in mid‑October has turned a calendar item into an operational crisis for many business process outsourcing (BPO) firms — a sector that runs large, tightly controlled desktop estates and handles regulated, high‑value customer data. The technical facts are clear: Windows 10 mainstream servicing ends on October 14, 2025, and while devices will continue to run, they will no longer receive routine OS‑level security updates unless enrolled in...

Valve has put a firm date on the end of an era: beginning January 1, 2026, Steam will stop supporting 32‑bit editions of Windows, leaving Windows 10 32‑bit — the last commonly supported 32‑bit Windows SKU — on an officially unsupported path and urging the tiny fraction of players still running that platform to move to 64‑bit Windows as soon as possible. Background Valve’s announcement closes a long transition away from 32‑bit desktop computing that accelerated over the last decade. Hardware...

Microsoft has begun rolling out Gaming Copilot — a voice-enabled, context-aware AI assistant — into the Windows 11 Game Bar and will extend the feature to the Xbox mobile app in October, bringing in-game help, achievement tracking, and on‑screen analysis directly to PC players aged 18 and over while excluding mainland China from the initial regional rollout. Overview Gaming Copilot is Microsoft’s attempt to put an AI-powered helper inside the natural play surface of PC gaming: the Xbox Game...

Microsoft’s long‑promised AI sidekick for players is finally rolling into the PC Game Bar: Xbox’s Gaming Copilot — marketed simply as Xbox Copilot or Gaming Copilot (Beta) — is being deployed to Windows PC users via the Xbox Game Bar starting today, with an Xbox mobile release planned for October. The companion brings a hands‑free Voice Mode, on‑screen screenshot analysis, and account‑aware recommendations designed to keep players in the moment and inside Microsoft’s gaming ecosystem while...

Microsoft’s looming October 14, 2025 deadline for Windows 10 support has a hard, immediate consequence for meeting-room infrastructure: devices running Windows 10 Team edition — notably Surface Hub v1 — will stop receiving vendor updates and will no longer run the Teams experiences IT teams expect, forcing many organizations into rapid upgrades, replacement, or architecture workarounds. Microsoft’s lifecycle guidance makes the cut-off explicit for Teams Rooms on Windows and Surface Hub...

The latest publicly available AMD Radeon Graphics Drivers package continues to push the company’s Adrenalin software suite forward, packaging performance optimizations, new upscaling and frame‑generation technologies, and per‑game latency improvements into a single installer while maintaining support across multiple RDNA generations; at the same time, the rapid release cadence and introduction of advanced AI‑assisted features raise important compatibility and stability considerations for...

Microsoft has set a firm deadline: Windows 10 mainstream support ends on October 14, 2025, and that cutover changes the security posture for millions of PCs worldwide. After that date, most Windows 10 machines will no longer receive monthly security patches, feature updates, or standard technical support — unless they’re enrolled in a limited Extended Security Updates (ESU) pathway or otherwise covered by a paid support arrangement. Background / Overview Microsoft announced that Windows 10...

Windows 11 ships with a lot of useful functionality — and a lot of defaults that many users find noisy, intrusive, or simply unnecessary. A recent community write-up that recommends three Group Policy tweaks — turning off Microsoft Defender, disabling toast notifications, and preventing OneDrive from auto‑backing up or syncing — is a succinct starter checklist for anyone building a quieter, more predictable Windows install. The original piece lays out the user experience case: Defender can...

Work is changing shape: Microsoft is shifting Microsoft 365 Copilot from a personal assistant into a set of collaboration-first agents that live inside Teams, SharePoint, and Viva Engage — effectively giving every team, meeting, project, and community an AI teammate that acts on shared context and organizational knowledge. The rollout announced on September 18, 2025 expands Copilot’s role from helping individuals draft and summarize to actively coordinating work, taking meeting notes...
