Microsoft's HoloLens may have been sidelined, but a Microsoft designer's fan-made vision — the Copilot Veja — shows how the next wave of mixed‑reality thinking could trade heavy headsets for discreet, AI‑supercharged earbuds that "see" the world and speak answers back in real time. Background...

Microsoft’s vision of a future Windows where you “talk to your PC” is less a finished product than an aggressive bet on changing workplace culture — and whether that bet pays off depends as much on human behavior as on silicon and software. Background: what Microsoft is saying — and what PCWorld...

Microsoft’s rollout of ND H200 v5 instances for Azure Machine Learning is a substantial, full‑stack upgrade that pairs Microsoft’s cloud orchestration with NVIDIA’s newest H200 Tensor Core GPUs to give teams a rare combination of massive on‑GPU memory, dense compute, and high‑bandwidth...
