Light the candles and break out the bubbly – Microsoft turned the big 5-0 this month!

When Bill Gates and Paul Allen launched their small startup in 1975, they couldn’t have known how their vision of a personal computer on every desk would bring a transformational tidal wave to technology.

Since then, we’ve seen a half-century of innovations that have changed our world – from the Altair BASIC language that started it all to AI agents – and how we interact with it.

This month, we’ll highlight a few of them. We’ll open a window onto Microsoft’s journey over the past 50 years, share a vista of some groundbreaking AI innovations and tell you about a slew of new features that will make your trusted AI companion your very own.

Along the way, we’ll do our best to excel as a copilot. Just don’t get clippy with us. Word.

At 50, we’re not slowing down – we’re just getting started. So put on your party hat and help us make some noise. Cheers to 50 years!
