Security researchers say a new wave of prompt‑injection techniques can coerce mainstream AI assistants — including Microsoft Copilot and xAI’s Grok — into behaving as covert command‑and‑control (C2) relays, exfiltrating data or executing attacker‑supplied workflows after a single crafted input...

Microsoft’s latest release of SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) v10.5 brings a targeted set of improvements aimed squarely at the knottier parts of enterprise database modernization: code conversion fidelity, “large script” reliability, and operational stability when running converted logic...

New Horizons’ announcement that it will embed Microsoft Copilot training directly into its Microsoft Office course catalog marks a decisive shift in how commercial training providers are trying to close the gap between AI access and everyday workplace adoption. Announced on February 16, 2026...

Microsoft’s pivot from a software‑first company into a cloud‑and‑AI platform heavyweight is no longer theory — it’s measurable in revenue mix, unit economics, and capital intensity — and the Seeking Alpha thesis that Microsoft’s Azure and AI businesses provide stability backed by structural...

Intel’s next‑generation desktop chips may be preparing one of the biggest shifts in on‑device AI since NPUs first arrived on client silicon: recent leaks claim the Core Ultra 400 “Nova Lake‑S” family will ship with an NPU6 block rated near 74 TOPS, a figure that would not only eclipse Intel’s...

When a motoring podcaster likened Microsoft Word’s unpredictable table behaviour to the idiosyncrasies of an Alfa Romeo, he opened a productive line of thought: if Microsoft—the company that gave us Windows, Office, Azure and Copilot—decided to build a car, what would it actually be like? The...

Microsoft is testing a new taskbar entry called Ask Copilot that replaces the familiar Windows Search pill with an AI-aware, multimodal input — but only if you choose to turn it on. The feature arrives in Windows Insider preview builds (Dev and Beta channels), appears as an opt‑in toggle under...

OneDrive’s Folder Backup (Known Folder Move) is quietly one of the most consequential “default” behaviors in Windows 11: when it’s activated without clear consent it can commingle local and cloud copies, consume paid OneDrive storage, and change where your files actually live — often without you...

The short disclaimer on royaldutchshellplc.com — “This is not a Shell website” — is more than a legal hedge: it is the hinge of a public experiment that mixes satire, archived grievances, and generative AI outputs, and it forces a practical question for IT and communications teams alike: what...

Microsoft’s generational bet on enterprise AI—packaged most visibly as Copilot, Azure inference, and the new wave of autonomous agents—is not a sideshow to its legacy businesses; it is the company’s calculated attempt to create a new, high‑margin annuity model on top of decades of installed...

Microsoft’s February update for Microsoft Sentinel introduces a dedicated Copilot data connector in public preview that brings Copilot audit logs and activity telemetry directly into Sentinel workspaces and the Sentinel data lake, enabling SOC teams to hunt, detect, and automate responses to...

Microsoft appears ready to deepen Copilot's role inside Microsoft 365, moving from a sidebar helper to an in‑app assistant across Office apps — and the implications for productivity, security, and IT governance are substantial. Background Microsoft's AI strategy has been evolving rapidly: what...

Jen Harris’s message on the AI Agent & Copilot Podcast is simple and urgent: partners must stop treating AI like a toy and start building the partner of the future — one that combines Microsoft Copilot, Azure, Power Platform, data, and governance into outcome-driven solutions that actually...

Microsoft appears to be pulling back from its "AI everywhere" sprint across Windows 11 — but the question isn't whether it can slow down the rollout; it's whether Microsoft can rebuild the trust it eroded while racing to plaster Copilot onto every UI surface. Background: how Copilot became...

Microsoft's push to make Microsoft 365 Copilot measurably smarter and more actionable is moving from stagecraft to mass rollout, and the impact will be felt across how organizations create, manage, and govern work. Over the last several months Microsoft has layered new capabilities — agent...

Microsoft’s latest pushes to weave Copilot into the innermost seams of Windows 11 — now extending deep into File Explorer with right‑click AI actions for summaries, previews and inline edits — have crystallized a familiar debate: is this useful progress or feature creep that breaks the...

Microsoft’s long silence on hard Copilot metrics ended with a single, headline-grabbing disclosure — and the numbers that followed are as revealing for what they prove as for what they leave unanswered. In its fiscal Q2 FY26 earnings release and call, Microsoft reported 15 million paid Microsoft...

GitHub’s Copilot integration for JetBrains IDEs has been linked to a high‑severity command‑injection / remote code‑execution class flaw that can allow attacker‑controlled content to become executable on a developer’s workstation, and vendor tracking entries (including Microsoft’s Update Guide)...
