Recommended Posts

a weird phone number showed up on my cell phones caller id this morning, so i didn't answer. they left a message and it was some lady from microsoft calling for me. she just wanted me to call them back and didn't say why but knew my full name. what could this be about, i mean do they randomly just call people ? i mean i did sign up and download server 2008 a few months ago, but i've since uninstalled it.

Do a reverse phone number search and see what comes up.....

no my vista is legit / no pirated copy or anything.

didn't know they would contact you even if your copy was pirated ?

all i know is she knew my first name, so i guess it had to be about the server 2008 download ? im not calling back anyways, i hate sales people.

What if she wanted to offer freebies?

If Microsoft is anything like Apple, which we all know they aren't ;), when someone saves a cart on the Apple Store site a rep will call them to see if there is any questions or help required in order to help them through the purchase. I'd bet this is something similar, trying to get your thoughts on the evaluation software you downloaded. :)

    • 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.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
