Microsoft’s Copilot is no longer an experimental overlay — it’s becoming an operational layer inside Dynamics 365 Business Central, and partners such as Velosio are already packaging training, implementation services, and prebuilt workflows to help organizations turn generative AI from a...

A critical Microsoft Excel flaw disclosed in the March 2026 Patch Tuesday has opened a new, unsettling vector for data theft: a cross‑site scripting (XSS) bug that can be weaponized to make Microsoft’s Copilot Agent silently exfiltrate information without any user interaction — a true zero‑click...

Microsoft’s March 10, 2026 cumulative update for Windows 11 — KB5079466 (OS Build 28000.1719) — is a compact but consequential release that mixes traditional servicing fixes with targeted on‑device AI component updates and a multi‑MSU delivery model that deserves attention from both consumer...

Microsoft’s next Windows — widely discussed under the shorthand “Windows 12” — has become the kind of rumour that doesn’t just excite enthusiasts: it could, if the patterns and technical levers people are talking about become reality, push a measurable number of mainstream users off the Windows...

Lightbeam’s HIMSS26 presence marks a clear pivot from vendor demo to enterprise playbook: the company is taking its Microsoft Copilot integrations and newly strengthened actuarial toolkit out of the lab and into the hands of risk-bearing organizations that must turn population-level insight into...

Microsoft’s latest viral scare — a translated headline proclaiming a “Horror: A New Windows 12 with Ubiquitous Paid Subscriptions is Coming” — did exactly what sensational tech copy does best: it compounded real trends (AI-first features, subscription monetization, device certification programs)...

Microsoft’s official Copilot Discord server was quietly enforcing a one-word ban — “Microslop” — and when the community pushed back by testing and evading the filter, moderators effectively locked large parts of the server to stop the escalation, leaving members unable to read or post while the...

Microsoft’s planned overhaul of Planner arrives as a classic trade‑off: a richer, Teams‑first collaboration surface with task chat, custom templates, and Copilot‑driven agents — and at the same time the quiet removal of several long‑used “classic” integrations, most notably the iCalendar (.ics)...

Microsoft’s marketing teams have quietly elevated Copilot from a helpful assistant to the face of Windows 11 productivity — placing Copilot at the top of a promotional list of built‑in Windows tools and claiming it as the go‑to app for thinking, planning and getting stuff done on the desktop...

Microsoft’s Copilot emerged as the clear favorite in Android Central’s recent reader poll — a decisive result that surprised many because broader usage and traffic data paint a much more complicated picture of which AI chatbots people actually use in the wild. Background Android Central asked...

Microsoft Excel hasn’t gone away — it’s been remixed. In 2026 the spreadsheet remains the lingua franca of finance, operations, and analytics, and the year’s most useful training lists mix classical workbook skills with new requirements: Power Query, Power Pivot/DAX, Copilot-aware workflows, and...

Gentoo has quietly begun the long, deliberate task of pulling its contributor-facing mirrors off GitHub and onto Codeberg, a move the distribution frames as a practical workaround for an ethical and operational problem: GitHub’s increasingly aggressive push of Copilot-style AI features into...

Microsoft’s Copilot push entered a new, more automated phase this month as the company confirmed a staged rollout of PowerPoint Agent Mode, a feature that can autonomously build presentations by pulling content from SharePoint, OneDrive, email, and Teams conversations—part of a wider wave of...

For years, Notepad was the little, instant-open tool you reached for when you needed a scratch, a quick edit, or a place to paste a one-off command—no sign‑in, no telemetry prompts, no bloated menus. That era is changing, and the shift is more than cosmetic: Microsoft has steadily reworked...
