Microsoft has started delivering Windows 11 version 25H2 to the broad user base, but this “feature release” is more accurately a fast, low-friction enablement package that flips on a year’s worth of AI integrations, stability work and manageability improvements already staged in the 24H2...
The South Central Connecticut Regional Water Authority has completed a full-stack transformation of its customer information and contact-center systems, ripping out a heavily customized SAP-based billing stack and replacing it with UMAX on Microsoft Dynamics 365 plus a first-party contact-center...
Microsoft’s new AI persona, Mico, arrives as a distinctly non‑threatening face for Copilot — a responsive, color‑shifting orb intended to make voice and conversational AI feel friendlier and more human without repeating the mistakes of the past.
Background

Microsoft’s new Copilot avatar, Mico, is a playful but deliberate redesign of how the company wants users to experience on-device AI—an animated, shape-shifting orb that promises friendlier voice interactions, an opt‑in tutoring mode called Learn Live, and a cheeky easter egg that briefly morphs...
Microsoft has quietly opened a conversation with on‑prem Exchange Server administrators about whether they would welcome Copilot-style AI features in locally hosted mail environments — and the survey’s most pointed question makes clear Microsoft is actively exploring hybrid approaches that could...

Microsoft Teams today is far more than “chat with video” — it’s a full-fledged, AI-augmented collaboration platform built to replace messy inbox threads, threadbare telephony systems, and fractured app stacks by folding messaging, meetings, file collaboration, telephony, and generative-AI...
Microsoft’s latest push to weave generative AI deeper into Windows 11 moves the operating system from assistantable to assistant-first, bringing voice activation, on-screen vision, autonomous web actions, and tighter hardware-software integration that together redefine how users will interact...
Microsoft has begun the staged rollout of Windows 11 version 25H2, a measured enablement-package update that layers a broad set of AI, accessibility, security, and usability improvements on top of the existing 24H2 servicing branch—delivering an experience Microsoft describes as faster to...
Microsoft’s move to push freshly sharpened AI features into Windows 11 arrives at the exact moment Microsoft retires mainstream support for Windows 10, forcing a mass migration conversation that stretches from home PCs to enterprise fleets and device recyclers. The end-of-support deadline —...
Microsoft’s latest update to Windows 11 marks a deliberate pivot: the operating system is being reframed as an AI-first platform, with Copilot graduating from a sidebar chatbot to a multimodal, permissioned assistant that can listen, see, and — under controlled conditions — act on your behalf...
