New Year, New Momentum: Here are three Copilot updates to get you started into 2026

on
It's a new year, so I thought I'd start the year by mentioning three features already released, or soon going to be released. One of the features improves the workflow of sharing files with comments, the other improves the application specific Copilot, and the last feature makes it easer to find the nest available timeslot for a 1:1 meeting. As with all of my other posts, timelines can shift, and the timelines in this post is as written in the Message Center at the time of posting. AI-Summary experience when sharing files. With this new feature, copilot intent to help users share files with clearer context in just a few steps. Users will get the capability to generate a concise summary of a file and include it when sharing from the File Explorer share dialog or the OneDrive activity center. This will make it easier to share the context of a file and giving the receiver a faster understanding of what a document or file contains before they open it. General Availability announced...

Picking up the pieces

I must admit; I felt pretty bad after totally failing my second attempt at the CCIE LAB. But, I am not the first, and not the last to "hit the wall" in the LAB. That's why a CCIE is still one of the most renown certifications.

After a long debate between Me, Myself and I, I decided it would be a shame to give it up already. Luckily she agreed, after I had promised her to take a real break this summer. Well, the summer is over, and it is time to start thinking about the lab again....

I do not know how well I'll document it, but I will give it a try. I hope to write down some of my pain-points, and some of my gotchas.

To day I just wanted you to know I'm getting back on that horse, and I'm resetting my brain for another run for the LAB.

Day one is just easing it in. Logging on to INE, checking my account, reading some of the forum-posts and installing some equipment in my house. Yes, that's right. My employer has been kind enough to lend me a UC520 and a few phones for the next few months. So this time, I'll be more up to speed on the IOS tasks (CME/CUE).

That's all for today, I might be back another day to tell you about my progress (or lack of progress). Wish me the best :)

PS: I really love my wife for being so supportive and understanding. I really couldn't have done this without her ;)
