Checkout.com’s decision to adopt Microsoft Azure as the backbone for its payments stack marks a decisive step in reshaping enterprise payment rails: the companies announced a multi‑year technology collaboration under which Checkout.com will migrate key production systems and AI model operations...
Microsoft’s countdown to the end of Windows 10 support on 14 October 2025 has moved from a calendar footnote to an operational crisis for many organisations: the choice is stark and costly — upgrade to Windows 11 now, pay for a time‑boxed Extended Security Update (ESU) bridge, or accept rising...

Apple’s new Underdogs film leans into one of the most dramatic tech stories of recent years — the July 2024 CrowdStrike update that sent millions of Windows endpoints into boot loops and Blue Screens of Death — and then turns that episode into a broad-brush reassurance: “Macs don’t panic.” The...
Checkout.com’s decision to adopt Microsoft Azure as the backbone for its AI-driven payments platform marks a clear inflection point in enterprise payments infrastructure — a multi-year technology collaboration that promises faster, more secure and more scalable payment flows for major merchants...
CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog grew again this week when the agency added seven vulnerabilities to the list — a mix of decade‑old, well‑documented browser and Windows flaws, a high‑impact Linux kernel bug, and a freshly disclosed Oracle E‑Business Suite remote code...
BUI’s announcement that it has earned Microsoft’s new Copilot specialization marks a significant milestone for the company and a clear signal to buyers that partner-led, security-first deployments of Microsoft 365 Copilot and agentic AI are moving from experimentation to enterprise-grade...
BUI’s announcement that it has earned the new Microsoft Copilot specialisation marks a meaningful milestone for both the company and enterprises evaluating partners for secure, scalable Copilot deployments — a milestone that reflects rising demand for partner-led advisory, governance and agentic...
Microsoft has begun the staged rollout of the Windows 11 25H2 update — an incremental, enablement-package-based release that unlocks a raft of AI-enhanced capabilities, a redesigned Start menu, richer lock‑screen widgets, improved energy and recovery tools, and targeted enterprise manageability...

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint began firing repeated alerts telling users to update Dell machines’ BIOS — a false positive caused by a logic bug in Defender’s vulnerability-fetching code — and although Microsoft says a fix has been developed, administrators are left juggling alert fatigue...
Microsoft has published KB5054156 — a tiny enablement package (eKB) that flips on Windows 11, version 25H2 for devices already running the fully patched 24H2 servicing baseline, turning a months‑worth of staged feature binaries into an active release with minimal downtime and a single restart in...
A sweeping industry analysis released this month warns that Microsoft’s Copilot — the productivity AI now embedded across Microsoft 365 — is touching orders of magnitude more sensitive corporate data than many IT teams realize, with one vendor-backed study reporting nearly three million...
Microsoft began a staged global rollout of the Windows 11 2025 Update — Windows 11, version 25H2 — on September 30, 2025, delivering the release primarily as a small enablement package that flips on features already staged in the 24H2 servicing branch; rather than a flashy consumer reboot, this...
A sweeping industry report released this year warns that Microsoft’s Copilot is touching orders of magnitude more sensitive business data than many IT teams realise — with Concentric AI reporting that Copilot accessed nearly three million confidential records per organisation in the first half...

Windows 11 promises to be more than a cosmetic refresh for enterprises — it’s being framed as a strategic platform upgrade that combines a tighter security baseline, cloud-native management, and built-in AI productivity tools that together can reduce risk, lower operational overhead, and...
The clock is no longer just ticking — it’s already in overtime: with Windows 10 scheduled to leave mainstream support, organisations that treat the Windows 11 upgrade as a compliance chore are missing an opening to convert a necessary refresh into a measurable competitive advantage. The...
Microsoft’s Copilot is evolving from a one‑person productivity assistant into a set of embedded, context‑aware AI teammates that live inside Teams channels, SharePoint sites, Viva Engage communities and meetings — agents that proactively run coordination tasks, capture decisions, and keep...
Work is changing shape: Microsoft is shifting Microsoft 365 Copilot from a personal assistant into a set of collaboration-first agents that live inside Teams, SharePoint, and Viva Engage — effectively giving every team, meeting, project, and community an AI teammate that acts on shared context...
