“What I would say is…”
You did say it. I heard it. It’s not like you can take it back and say “I would have said that but I didn’t.”

Windows needs a sobriety test this morning.

Start menu and icons on the taskbar are right of centre. This is on an LG Dual Up monitor with display orientation in portrait.

I like how the Mac virtual desktops work with multiple displays. I can swap to a virtual desktop on one display and leave the other displays on their current desktops.
Windows swaps virtual desktops on all displays.

I just killed two Paperlike covers in a row, putting them on my iPad Mini. As soon as a hair or dust particle gets on that sticky surface, it’s going to annoy me. I can’t ignore the micro-bubble that distorts the light from the screen.
I’m just going bare screen. I don’t have the patience anymore.

What’s up? I’m up Bluesky, ready to cohost the M365 Change Round-up with @tomarbuthnot.bsky.social and Daniel Glenn for Empowering Cloud. Taking one for the team and this month, I didn’t sleep in.

It’s true of people within Microsoft too. They can’t keep up with themselves and their pace.
I call this speed-wobbles.

Store Manager Agent - the Store Manager that isn’t actually in the store and never will be. But it can make sure there are real humans available to cover a shift from another human who is sick after a late night of… working.

Agents for Copilot Chat. Copilot used to make changes to your document using App Skills. Now those skills have been moved out of natural chat and you have to select the agent to make those AI powered changes.
It has been a dizzying journey watching multiple pivots to land on this approach

Copilot in LinkedIn? Will we see even more AI-written resumes and posts, written directly from LinkedIn?
WorkIQ. Choose the “next best Agent” for the job? 🫣 #MSIgnite

“Democratising Intelligence.” More like Monetising Intelligence. This democracy costs to give everyone access. Enter the new licensing models to access the intelligence. #MSIgnite

I need AI to help me keep up with changes and news in AI. That puts me, the human, further out of the loop. It puts the algorithms in control. #MSIgnite

Microsoft Ignite 2025 Book of News

I don’t think the summaries in #MSIgnite Book of News are AI powered. Why?
They are consistently the same.
They are almost instant.

Microsoft Ignite 2025 Book of News

The #MSIgnite Book of News. This year it’s a summary of AI announcements with AI summaries inside the summary.
Just switch the AI summary on for the section you would like to summarise even more.
Ask your human Microsoft Ignite analyst if this is right for you.

🎤 tap tap tap. Hello #MSIgnite. Is this thing on? Can anyone hear… oh wait. I was on mute.
Can someone create a Copilot that listens to others on the call and unmutes me when they call say, you are muted?

I hope you are all ready for a deluge of Agentritified features and apps. Here we go ☔️

What We Lost When Cameras Got Better
What We Lost When Cameras Got Better YouTube video by Gerald Joehri

What did you lose when you upgraded?

This video about manual mindset is inspiring. Take photos like you are using film and you only have 36 shots.

Thank you for the inspiration Gerald Joehri.

This can’t be real. Does the US really have a President who doesn’t give a f*ck about what is happening around him. That’s weird. He’s weird.

I’m not really a Halloween fan. When asked about my plans, I don’t say boo about it.

💬 Are you ready for my call now?
…how about now?
…now?
…now now?
…wait, I’ve got another call coming in. I’ll ping you a message when I’m ready to call.

…ready? Oh you’re busy now? OK I’ll schedule a call with you.

Which is why I my reply to Copilot so often is “can I have that with a side of citations?”

What do I want Copilot to remember in it’s memory of me?
*Always respond with citations.*
How can I “Check for accuracy” if you don’t provide the references for where you generated your answer from?
…let’s see how well Copilot remembers this about me.

This is the difference.
Dark mode. Looks cool but not as easy to see the content I am demoing.

Light mode. Classic, but not cool. However, it’s far easier to see the content I am demonstrating.

Now imagine the two demos in a room.
