MS Expert Zone Featured Community Summit Pics


Recommended Posts

I'm at the MS Expert Zone Featured Community Summit 2004, and I'm taking pictures of all the cool stuff they are showing us. I believe there are two reps from Neowin.net, and I'm representing Bink.nu.

I'm uploading the pics basically right after I take them, so check back for new pics ;-).

Yeah, that was the Microsoft Museum section. I just uploaded two pics from the MSN Music presentation, and we all got 10 free song downloads :-).

Next, we're going to the Microsoft Home of the Future, then to the Microsoft Company Store, Microsoft Office of the Future, 727 Pine (Restarunt for dinner), and then to Gameworks (a little fun gaming :ninja:)

I really want to talk to neobond and Redmak, but I haven't gotten the opportunity to really say anything to them. I'm becomming good friends with some of the Tablet PC and Windows Mobile/Embedded MVPs that are here :-).

We saw some great stuff today that, unfortionatly, is NDA and I was unable to take pictures of.

Oh, and the trip to the Microsoft Store was fun.. it was like 20 kids in candy stores ;-).

I LOVED the shop. I picked up an XBox Media Center Extender for $70, an XBox Live Headset for $20, and two ($50/ea) games for $15/ea.

Oh, and not to mention before we went to dinner last night, they supprised us all with free Creative Zen Micro's... ooooh they are so nice ;-) (bye bye iPod :cool:)

Oh...my...god :huh:

How do you get to those conferences? A bit off topic I know but I finish school next year in the Summer and was just thinking about career possibilities n'stuff. Which one is this summit about? 'cause I know there's the CeBIT conference and a few others and I get confused.

:blink:

Okay, uploaded pics from yesturday. Also added a pic of Neobond & Redmak having dinner on Day1.

I'd be happy to report that at that dinner, we talked about moving Neowin to ASP.NET :happy: They see the benefits, but don't worry, I don't think I convinced them enough to really do it :-P. Oh, and I didn't get to see any Neowin 4.0 designs :-P (but I like 3.9 just fine :D)

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
