TechSpot means tech analysis and advice you can trust. Ripple effect: Microsoft may be backing away from the Copilot+ PC branding, but it's doubling down on the bigger idea behind it: turning AI into a layer that actively runs your computer and gets work done for you. Its latest Copilot overhaul pushes that vision further than before, combining Office, coding tools, and autonomous agents into what CEO Satya Nadella calls a "new OS for work." Public testing begins in the coming weeks.
