New Copilot Updates for Outlook Scheduling, Word Agent Mode, and PowerPoint Agent Mode

on
Microsoft has announced Copilot enhancements across Outlook, Word, and PowerPoint that improve scheduling, document creation, and presentation building. Here is a summary of some of the features I think can come in handy. Be aware that timelines may change as deployments progress, some of these have already been pushed back a couple of months. All of the following features requires a Microsoft 365 Copilot license, and will be enabled by default for users with such a license. Automatic rescheduling of 1:1 meetings Automatic rescheduling of flexible 1:1 meetings and personal events in Outlook with Copilot, helping users resolve conflicts with minimal manual effort is coming soon. This will be in addition to the already released auto rescheduling of meeting rooms. Originally this feature was planned for mid‑November 2025 to mid‑January 2026, but is now hopefully coming between to mid‑February 2026 and the end of February 2026.

Google Chrome; Is it any good

on
I’ve been trying out Google Chrome for a few days, and here are my thoughts about it.
It is light, It is fast and it really works well. So why did I go back to IE and Opera? To tell you the truth? GC is to “light”. Here is a list of “complaints”, and possible areas of improvement:

- I couldn’t find anywhere to control plugin modules, or where/how to granulate cookie control. I am not saying CG is bad, but I like the illusion of control. And CG doesn’t give me that illusion.
- I miss an easy way to enable/disable features on the fly (like I do in my Opera)
- I miss how IE uses Zones for enabling features in “secure” zones, and disable them when surfing other Internet sites.
- The “intelligent” autofill for domain names is clearly programmed for .com .org
- And then there are the little small things I have gotten used to, like how the favorite folder in IE is always available, and returns to the same subfolder when you want to access a new favorite. The “home” button (without having to create it as an bookmark first).
- Finally, there are several sites not working (or behaving badly) in the Beta browser, like facebook live and other java enabled sites

I will however, not give up on CG. I’ll just wait and see if some of the features I use a lot will be available in a future release. And as I said, It is really fast and good. I liked the look, and layout. And the fact that it is not MS :)
