Microsoft is celebrating its 50th birthday with something special — an anniversary Copilot Event that takes place today at 9:30am PT / 12:30pm ET / 5:30pm BST.While we’re expecting plenty of Microsoft looking back into its great (and sometimes weird) history, we’re anticipating a bunch of new Copilot upgrades to be announced.To kick off the party, I’d like to do something a little different.
I’ll be sharing some of my favorite moments from Microsoft’s history (for better and for worse), while covering every single Copilot AI announcement as it happens.In fact, we’re actually on the ground at this special event, so expect some exclusive coverage from us — including (maybe) hands-on experiences with what’s announced!So whether you’re here for the memories of Clippy, Zune, Xbox or playing 3D Pinball on the library computers (I see you), or seeing how Copilot could be more helpful in the future, join us on our journey back (and forward) through time.LIVE UPDATESWelcome to the party, pal!(Image credit: Microsoft)We have much to talk about before the main event — what I predict the Copilot announcements will be, how Microsoft got here after 50 years.
Let's start with a little bit of fun. If you read my April Fools' Day live blog, you know I'm a bit of a connoisseur for what is actually good and what's pretty cringe.So I'm bringing the cringe rating back! I'm going to go through some of Microsoft's more momentous moments in history, watching them back and giving them a score on the cringe-o-meter.
Stand by, it's going to get weird...
