Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 update turns Copilot from a sidebar helper into a conversational, screen‑aware assistant that can act on your behalf — you can now say “Hey Copilot,” watch it see your screen, and grant it scoped permissions to manage files and cloud data as part of a broader push...
Microsoft’s latest pricing ripple has reached an audience few players think about: game developers now face a higher barrier to build for Xbox as Microsoft raises the price of its official development kits from $1,500 to $2,000 — a 33% hike that the company says “reflects macroeconomic...

Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 update finally gives Copilot a voice you can wake with a phrase — “Hey, Copilot” — and pairs that wake‑word activation with broader, permissioned vision and experimental agent capabilities that can see, hear, and — with explicit consent — act on your behalf across...
