March 20, 2024Windows Weekly 873: Amino Man!
On this episode, Paul, Richard, and Mikah talk AI developments, Windows 10 (yes, 10), Azure egress, and even VR gaming! Is the new Microsoft AI organization an "acquisition" in disguise? How did NVIDIA's recent GTC keynote go? Plus, why it makes sense for Apple to partner with Google for Gemini on iPhone.

Microsoft has created a new Microsoft AI "organization" that reports directly to Satya Nadella

Led by former Inflection co-founders and staffed in part by several ex-Inflection employees

Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott, who orchestrated Microsoft's OpenAI partnership, will continue forward in his other role as executive vice president of AI and will remain responsible for Microsoft's overall AI strategy

Rajesh Jha will continue as executive vice president of Experiences & Devices and will "partner closely with Mustafa and team" on Copilot for Microsoft 365.

Microsoft 365

Microsoft to host "AI and Surface event" right before Build 2024 in May

Nvidia is determined to not just ride the AI wave, but win it
