Microsoft’s public pivot on the AI browser conversation is straightforward: it isn’t building a brand‑new browser — it’s turning Microsoft Edge into an agentic experience by folding Copilot directly into how people already browse, run workflows, and consume web content. This strategy, described...
Windows 11 Insiders are now seeing a new, unexpected entry in the parade of Copilot entry points: a floating “Share with Copilot” button that appears when you hover over an open app on the taskbar and use the window preview. The button launches Copilot Vision against the contents of that window...

Apple’s macOS 26 “Tahoe” and Microsoft’s Windows 11 no longer compete on the same flat plane — Tahoe doubles down on a design‑led, privacy‑first desktop infused with on‑device intelligence, while Windows 11 pushes AI into a broadly compatible, enterprise‑ready platform that still owns gaming and...
