Summary

After a flurry of last-second pre-release activity, Microsoft shipped 24H2 a week earlier than expected! Copilot also gets a major update for individuals too, and Copilot+ PCs get more features.

24H2 is here!

Last week's Week D updates did finally go out, first to 22H2/23H2 and then to 24H2
That 22H2/23H2 preview update was apparently a hot mess Now Microsoft has issued a fix
Windows 11 version 24H2 is fully available. Arm64 ISOs are coming soon
The first LTSC version(s) of Windows 11 is now available - Windows 11 Enterprise Long Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) 24H2 + Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024)
New Dev and Beta builds, not much new, but new Snipping Tools spreads further
Canary build today

Copilot

Copilot morphs into an AI companion or something
Copilot+ PCs are getting new features, including one with a serious Recall vibe
Microsoft is trying a different tact with the new AI features - explaining why they can be trusted. Can they be trusted?
Microsoft belatedly explains why you can trust Recall
As expected, Microsoft does a song and dance on changes to Recall, but notably never thanks the feedback it got from the security community. Good. But this is still a win-win, if just for opt-in and, now, uninstall
Google pushes Gemini more in ChromeOS

Microsoft 365, More

Microsoft finally kills HoloLens 2
Germany has a plan for regulating all of Microsoft, not just the products that fall under the DMA
Office 2024 is here for individuals too
Intel rejects buyout offer... from Arm?
