At the #MicrosoftEvent, they're showing Copilot playing Minecraft, which isn't exactly what I meant by "rubber hitting the road," but it's at least in that direction.

According to The Verge (theverge.com/2024/5/20/2416…), Microsoft announced the Copilot Plus PC, which are machines that have advanced AI capabilities. Could be ARM, Intel, or AMD-based, but today's stuff is all about ARM.

As it relates to Windows on ARM at this #MicrosoftEvent, I'm looking for mgmt process and app compat. I have data that shows a 50/50 split between modern and traditional mgmt. For Win+ARM to be successful, I think devices have to work with both. And x64 apps need to work, too

Dell just announced five new #AIPC models with Copilot Plus. Powered by Qualcomm - all laptops. #DellTechWorld #MicrosoftEvent

Dell also talking about integrations Intel and AMD, but the laptops they showed were all Qualcomm. A lot depends on how you define "AI PC". Microsoft appears to be drawing a line in the sand at 40 TOPS = AI PC. So if you have last years NPU...🤷‍♂️#DellTechWorld #MicrosoftEvent

According to The Verge's live blog (theverge.com/2024/5/20/2415…), Microsoft announced Prism Emulation for Windows. I suppose this is an analogue to Rosetta from the Mac world? My research shows 44% of orgs have 50+ Windows apps. App Compat is a HUGE DEAL. #MicrosoftEvent

#MicrosoftEvent Microsoft / Qualcomm are understandably highlighting areas where Apple has had an advantage for many years, like battery life. I can't help but wonder what pressure this puts on #Intel, as well. Will be curious to see what they announce next.

I wrote this last week: AI PCs need apps with broad use cases to gain traction: techtarget.com/searchenterpri… This is what I'm looking for today. Microsoft talking about Adobe's usage of local AI. Teams with live translations. Nice to see! #MicrosoftEvent

The first jaw-dropping moment for me today is Microsoft's Cocreator feature - you sketch a design and it uses that to make a "real" image. For anyone that's tried to write a prompt to get that perfect PowerPoint art, this is a game-changer! #MicrosoftEvent

Ok, #DellTechWorld keynote is done. Umm...I think I covered the #MicrosoftEvent more. Dell was big picture AI stuff...which I get since this is about cloud and datacenter and everything. I'll find out more while I'm here about the Copilot Plus machines.

The recent #SIEM activity indicates that security operations technologies are at a crossroad. Why is this happening and what does it mean? See my latest CSOonline blog for more: csoonline.com/article/212680… #cybersecurity #infosec #secops #SIEM #SOAPA #CSMA #GAI

Hahahaha....iPhone has been out for 17 years and it's JUST NOW getting the ability to put icons anywhere on the screen. 🤯🤯🤯 #WWDC

And now Calculator is coming to iPadOS. WHA? OMGOMGOMG! (I mean, Math Notes looks cool, but again...iPad has been out for 15 years. How has it taken this long?) #WWDC

I find it refreshing that I haven't heard the phrase "AI" one time during this #WWDC keynote. I'm sure that's on purpose. I still expect something, but having been hit with an AI stick repeatedly this conference season, I really appreciate not having to hear it over and over!

Aaaand there it is. #WWDC

App attach for Azure Virtual Desktop now generally available, with loads of new features and useability improvements! techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-virtu…

I think this is the year I switch to YouTube TV. I’ve been a big Hulu Live fan, but the lack of multi view is glaring. I don’t love YouTube TVs implementation of it where they pick the arrangement, but it’s better than nothing Hulu - please tell me this feature is coming soon!

Dear CNN, please pay more attention to the ads you display on your app. This clickbait ad suggests spraying WD-40 into your faucet, which is a terrible idea for many reasons that include damaging the faucet or contaminating the water with a petroleum product.

I spent 2 months switching from my Mac to a Dell XPS 13 w/ Snapdragon Elite, and I wrote about it. Pt1: Windows on ARM was (mostly) flawless, and the laptop was great bit.ly/4fP11oD Pt 2: Switching from macOS to Windows. Spoiler: It’s hard. bit.ly/3BYIisG
