Microsoft 365 getting "major change" to how app updates will be released by Sayan Sen Microsoft tends to publish messages regarding upcoming Microsoft 365 app updates and changes on its Microsoft 365 admin center dashboard. Some of these posts are labelled as a "major change" as they require admin attention and monitoring to ensure smooth deployment of such changes, which can be new feature additions or removal of some. Communicating these early is crucial given that they can introduce bugs and issues, and sometimes they can be numerous as it happened with Outlook following a big Calendar upgrade. Microsoft recently announced changes to Teams-certified third-party app approvals. However, it may not be available to all licenses as initially announced. You can find the details in its dedicated article here. Another "major change" Microsoft has announced is about how the Microsoft 365 (M365) app update channels will function. For those who may not be familiar, the tech giant currently releases M365 app updates in four ways: Current channel, Monthly Enterprise channel, Semi-Annual Enterprise channel (preview), and Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel. Administrators, depending on how often and soon their organizations want the updates, can choose the servicing channel. However, Microsoft has announced today that it is deprecating the semi-annual preview channel and at the same time, reducing the support for the semi-annual channel from 14 months down to eight months. On the positive side, the company is extending the monthly channel servicing from one month to two. In an updated support document regarding this, Microsoft has outlined the changes. It writes: "Update Channel Changes Coming July 2025: Microsoft is making significant changes to update channels beginning July 2025: Monthly Enterprise Channel: Rollback support extended to 2 months (from 1 month) Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel (Preview): Being deprecated - migrate devices immediately Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel: Support duration reduced to 8 months (from 14 months), shifting to focus on unattended devices" Some additional details regarding this have also been released. Below, Microsoft has explained why the Semi-Annual Channel is seeing the alteration. The company writes: You can find the updated support document here on Microsoft's official website. Details about the change have also been communicated to the M365 Admin Center via message ID MC1087098. -

Polaroid went bankrupt due to poor sales after the rise in digital cameras and cheaper analogue alternatives. Now nearly everyone has a digital camera in their pocket , it's pointless. Nostalgia wont sell big numbers. -

Vivaldi for me, I like the look of the interface across desktop and mobile apps, it just works. I wouldn't touch Chrome with a barge pole now and don't like the look of Firefox. -

Bill used "Windows Recall" and fed the same story to the media he done in 2008 when he stepped out of the daily grind at MS. He could have just searched on Google for what he said back then

Question
mpat1024
I have created an unattended windows xp install for my computer which is about 4 gb big. I don't have a dvd writer or plan to invest in one.
Is it possible to install windos xp from an existing partition on my hard drive - i.e.: i have all the installation files sitting on a partition...can i install my pc directly from that?
This is rather urgent since i desperately need to reinstal my pc due to windows xp problems with the hal.dll.
