Principled Technologies’ recent hands‑on evaluation argues that running an end‑to‑end Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG) stack entirely on Microsoft Azure — instead of splitting model hosting, retrieval, and compute across multiple clouds — can produce measurable improvements in latency...
A recent Principled Technologies (PT) study — circulated via a press release and republished across PR channels — argues that adopting a single‑cloud approach for AI on Microsoft Azure can deliver measurable benefits in performance, manageability, and cost predictability for many enterprise AI...
A new Principled Technologies (PT) study — circulated as a press release and picked up by partner outlets — argues that adopting a single‑cloud approach for AI on Microsoft Azure can produce concrete benefits in performance, manageability, and cost predictability, while also leaving room for...

Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 Insider builds are shipping a new, full-screen renewal prompt aimed at lapsed Microsoft 365 subscriptions — an eye-catching SCOOBE (Second‑Chance Out‑of‑Box Experience) screen that insiders and early reports describe as a full‑screen nag to renew rather than a...
Oracle’s sudden emergence as a credible AI cloud contender has shifted the conversation: a company long defined by databases is now pitching a bold, capital‑intensive roadmap that — if every assumption holds — could place Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) among the industry’s leaders for AI...

Microsoft Azure customers across Asia, the Middle East and parts of Europe saw increased latency and degraded performance after multiple undersea fiber‑optic cables in the Red Sea were cut in early September, forcing traffic onto longer, congested detours and exposing persistent vulnerabilities...
A subtle change hidden inside a recent Windows 11 preview build surfaces a new, one‑click path to measure internet speed directly from the taskbar: a “Perform speed test” option now appears in the network icon’s context menu and in the Wi‑Fi quick settings, and selecting it launches the default...
Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 Insider preview builds quietly add a one‑click internet speed‑test shortcut to the taskbar network flyout — but the shortcut simply opens Bing’s web‑based speed test rather than running a native, offline measurement — and the same builds also include a subtle but...

For a surprising number of Windows systems, the guilty party behind intermittent stutters, dropped frames, and mysteriously sluggish behaviour isn’t a CPU pegged at 100% or a full SSD — it’s the tiny, sub-millisecond interruptions inside the kernel that LatencyMon can expose and quantify in...
The long-running honeymoon between Microsoft and OpenAI has entered a new, more transactional phase: the two companies have signed a non‑binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) that lays out a revised partnership framework while OpenAI pursues a controversial restructure that hands a very...
Microsoft is quietly testing a small but notable convenience feature in Windows 11: a one‑click internet speed test shortcut embedded directly in the network flyout and taskbar context menu — a shortcut that, for now, simply launches Bing’s online speed‑test widget rather than running a native...

Windows 11 ships with a cluster of gamer-focused features — Game Mode, Auto HDR, DirectStorage, hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling and per-app GPU preferences — that can materially change responsiveness, load times and visual fidelity when configured correctly, but many players never look past...
Microsoft’s Copilot has quietly gained a practical, no-nonsense speech option: Scripted Mode, a new setting inside Copilot Labs’ Audio Expressions that reads user-provided text verbatim. The change, publicly teased by Microsoft AI chief Mustafa Suleyman on September 10, 2025, is short on...
Microsoft’s internal AI strategy has entered a new phase: after years of leaning on OpenAI for frontier models and privileged cloud access, the company is investing to build its own large-scale compute — including a dedicated AI chip cluster and first-party foundation models — as part of a...
Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform suffered measurable performance degradation after multiple undersea fiber‑optic cables in the Red Sea were severed on September 6, 2025, forcing large volumes of traffic onto longer, congested routes and exposing brittle points in the global internet backbone...
Microsoft’s productivity stack is entering a new, more plural era: after years of deep integration with OpenAI’s models, Microsoft is reported to be adding Anthropic’s Claude — specifically the Sonnet model family — into Office 365’s Copilot workflows, creating a multi‑model orchestration that...
