Starting today, the full power of Microsoft Office is rolling out to the Copilot App in Frontier. We're bringing together the capabilities that your business runs on every day within Word, Excel and PowerPoint inside of the new OS for work.
This new experience supports your entire workflow, from the first prompt to the finishing touches. You can collaborate with others, use branded templates, and return to earlier iterations through version history as your work evolves. In the same workspace, you can choose from a robust library of frontier models or use the Auto router to match the right model to the task at hand.

No, time for the Security Teams to learn @MSIntune ROFLOL
Microsoft just moved Purview under the same exec who leads Intune.
What does it mean for Intune admins?
Time to start learning Purview?
@IAMERICAbooted says yes 😀

I’m pleased to share that we’ve rolled out the MAI-Image-2-Efficient model globally in Bing Image Creator - now free for everyone.
MAI-Image-2e delivers significant image quality improvements over version 1, such as sharper detail, richer color, enhanced text rendering, and more accurate results to your prompt, as you can see in the examples below. Let me encourage you to give it a go at msft.it/6016vPAts.
Many thanks to @mustafasuleyman MAI Super Intelligence team for continuing to raise the bar!

An aspect of #Cowork in @Copilot is its use of "skills," which act as instructions for #AI. Save tasks as skills, allowing @Copilot to execute them without needing to rewrite prompts. This Podcast chat with @ami_diamond dives into this and much more.

Copilot Cowork tip of the day:
Want to see your Skills and Plugins?
Open Extensions.
That’s where Plugins + Skills live together.
Fast path:
Start a new Copilot Cowork session and add:
/extensions#/extensions
to the end of the URL.
You can also get there by clicking a Skill after Cowork uses it in a session.

💻Surface Pro and Laptop are gearing up for a new cycle (and huge challenges)
Yeah, I know, everyone is mad/bitter about Surface these days, but Surface Pro 11 is still my jam and was one of my favorite releases by them ever (thanks to the Snapdragon X Elite), so I am genuinely excited about what is coming for Surface after reading our new exclusive report.
@zacbowden's article lays out how Microsoft is preparing a two‑stage launch for the next Surface Pro and Surface Laptop, with both Intel and Snapdragon configurations.
The part that really grabbed me is the display upgrade. Microsoft is planning a new panel for the Surface Laptop that sounds like a real step forward (OLED). (1/2)
