Cerence’s new in-car agent, built with Microsoft cloud services, has just crossed the line from concept demo to a usable — and commercially tempting — feature set: your car can now read and reply to Outlook and Teams messages, summarize what you missed, pull calendar locations and route you...
Microsoft’s public guidance has shifted from cautious optimism to a firmer promise: the company now expects another year of double‑digit revenue and operating‑income growth, a refinement that matters because Microsoft’s ability to sustain double‑digit expansion underpins lofty valuations and...

Mozilla’s Firefox 143 landed as a significant, pragmatic update: it finally brings a long‑promised form of desktop web‑app support to Windows, folds Microsoft Copilot into the browser’s AI sidebar, tightens several privacy and accessibility gaps, and introduces a clutch of media and UX...
Microsoft’s Copilot is no longer a distant novelty tucked away in press releases — it’s in your apps, and a short video can teach you more than hours of reading. Whether you want Copilot to draft faster in Word, crunch numbers in Excel, triage email in Outlook, or turn chaotic meeting notes into...
Microsoft’s push to fold AI into search and browsing — most visibly through Copilot, Bing Chat, and AI features in Microsoft Edge — can be disorienting for users who want a classic, no‑frills search and browser experience; the good news is you can significantly reduce or hide these AI elements...
Microsoft’s latest packaging of its agent-building tools — now split into Copilot Studio Lite and the Copilot Studio Full Experience — is less a rename and more a strategic reframe: the company is clarifying who these tools are for, where they run, and how enterprises should govern them. The...
Microsoft’s most recent results and guidance refinement make one fact unmistakable: the company’s future growth is being driven by an Azure‑anchored, AI‑first platform strategy — and that strategy is increasingly capital‑intensive, partnership‑dependent, and subject to both regulatory and...
Generative AI assistants such as Microsoft Copilot can accelerate data analysis — but only when the person using them understands the code they produce, checks the results, and controls the data fed into the system; used blindly, they’re a fast path to plausible-looking but flawed numbers...

Microsoft Edge is quietly experimenting with a new Visual Search shortcut inside its floating desktop search box on Windows 11, letting users drop images onto a small camera-enabled UI and get Bing-powered image results — all without opening a full browser window first.

Microsoft has quietly begun serving a new, highly visual Bing ad that places a full “scoreboard” comparison between Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome above Chrome’s official download links on Windows 11 — a move that reframes a user’s intent at the precise moment they look to switch browsers and...
