It happened in a matter of days Microsoft is hiring former OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and co-founder Greg Brockman. Altman was fired from OpenAI on Friday after the board said it was "no longer confident in his ability to continue to lead OpenAI." Following discussions about Altman's possible return to OpenAI, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced that Sam Altman and Greg Brockman would join Microsoft's new cutting-edge artificial intelligence research group. “We are very pleased to announce that Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, along with colleagues, will join Microsoft to lead a new cutting-edge artificial intelligence research group. We will act quickly to provide them with the resources they need to succeed.” Let us remind you that earlier it became known that former CEO and co-founder of Twitch Emmett Shear was appointed head of OpenAI. He will succeed Mira Murati, who was named interim CEO of OpenAI following Altman's ouster on Friday.

Microsoft has formed a new advanced artificial intelligence research group that will include Altman and Brockman. This comes just a week after Microsoft announced it was building its own AI chip that could be used to train large language models and potentially avoid a costly dependency on Nvidia. Microsoft has also created its own Arm-based processor for cloud workloads. Both custom silicon chips are designed for Azure data centers.

Former Twitch leader becomes new head of OpenAI OpenAI's board hired former Twitch executive Emmett Shear as chief executive, ignoring calls from investors to reinstate ousted Sam Altman. Earlier this year, Shear stepped down as CEO of game streaming company Twitch. He won OpenAI's favor because he recognized the threat posed by AI, one Bloomberg source said. A computer scientist who spent more than a decade building Twitch into one of the most successful video platforms in the world, Shire is considered the man to lead a large engineering team. The decision to hire Shear came in defiance of investors led by Microsoft and Thrive Capital, who had called for the board to resign and wanted Altman back. Sam Altman will not return, despite the efforts of Microsoft and other investors. [caption id="attachment_83791" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Microsoft[/caption] Another Bloomberg source said members of the San Francisco startup's board of directors have approached at least two prominent tech company executives about leading OpenAI. Representatives for OpenAI and Emmet Shear did not respond to requests for comment. OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, who orchestrated Altman's dismissal, told employees that Altman would not return. Elon Musk has said that the potential dangers of advanced artificial intelligence are so great that OpenAI must reveal the reason for  the dismissal of CEO Sam Altman .

As of February 27, 2024, non-security updates will cease to be released. A couple of weeks ago, Microsoft officially released Windows 11 version 23H2 and is now preparing to say goodbye to support for the previous version, Windows 11 22H2. The company announced the date from which support for this version of the OS will be reduced. [caption id="attachment_82536" align="aligncenter" width="760"] Microsoft[/caption] Microsoft has announced the date for reducing support for Windows 11 22H2 – no new features Microsoft will no longer provide optional, non-security updates for Windows 11 version 22H2 after February 27, 2024, according to the accompanying note for November's Update Tuesdays . Instead, Windows 11 22H2 will only receive cumulative monthly security updates. Microsoft wants people who are still using version 22H2 to upgrade to Windows 11 23H2 as soon as possible if they still want new features like Copilot. Security updates must be released for Windows 11 22H2 by October 8, 2024.

The OS grows with each release Microsoft recently released the latest Windows 11 version 23H2. As the thematic resource noted, the disk image (ISO file) of the OS has noticeably increased - up to 6.24 GB.  Microsoft This is approximately 7.586% more than Windows 10 22H2 (5.8 GB). At first glance, the increase is small. However, the situation looks more serious when you compare the size of Windows 11 23H2 with earlier versions of Windows 10. Microsoft is growing a huge monster. Windows 11 is already almost 10% larger than Windows 10 For example, Windows 10 version 1703 (Creators Update) was less than 4 GB in size, and we've seen a steady increase with each subsequent update - up to 5.8 GB with the release of Windows 10 22H2 in November 2022. Microsoft A similar trend is observed in Windows 11. According to WindowsLatest, the ISO file sizes for Windows 11 are as follows: Windows 11 21H2 English 64-bit - 5.7 GB Windows 11 22H2 English 64-bit - 5.8 GB Windows 11 23H2 English 64-bit - 6.24 GB The larger size of Windows 11 23H2 can be partly explained by new features and improvements. Apparently, Microsoft is aware of the problem, as it is gradually trying to eliminate a number of applications from the OS, asking users to install them from the Microsoft Store if necessary.

Microsoft plans to end support for Windows 10 in 2025 The Canadian-American organization PIRG (Public Interest Research Group) sent a petition to Microsoft calling on the company to rethink the upcoming withdrawal of support for Windows 10. Otherwise, “millions” of computers could be “thrown into a landfill overnight.” [caption id="attachment_76162" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Microsoft[/caption] We're now less than two years away from Microsoft ending support for Windows 10, and current estimates suggest that 400 million PCs won't be able to upgrade to Windows 11. The petition is addressed to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. In it, PIRG criticizes the company's plans because users expect their devices to last a long time and not suddenly become obsolete due to Microsoft's arbitrary decision. Microsoft is urged to extend the life of Windows 10 and not “send to landfill” millions of PCs Particular emphasis is placed on the threat to the environment, as users begin to get rid of outdated devices. The petition states: All software reaches the end of the support stage, but when the environmental consequences of a decision are so great, we shouldn't make it. Let's remember that Windows 10 itself is largely backward compatible with computers running older operating systems. However, for Windows 11, Microsoft has introduced new hardware requirements. Because of these requirements, computers that are only a few years old cannot be upgraded to Windows 11. Microsoft plans to end support for Windows 10 in 2025 and stop releasing updates, including security updates. Of course, no Windows 10 device will suddenly stop working, but users will have to think about changing the operating system or changing hardware. PIRG's "Designed to Last" campaign director Lucas Rockett Gutterman expressed surprise at Microsoft's decision, which contradicts the company's stance on the environment. Gutterman emphasized: Not only is this bad for consumers, but it's also bad for the planet, as outdated computers will end up in our growing piles of toxic e-waste.

The update gave an error Microsoft has fixed an issue that caused Windows 10 security updates released earlier this month to fail with error 0x8007000d. For systems affected by this issue, specifically Windows 10 21H2 and Windows 10 22H2, security updates KB5031356 were not installed despite showing an installation progress bar. The company acknowledged the problems on Friday, confirming user complaints that had been coming up since Tuesday and saying that attempting to install the update manually was also impossible. [caption id="attachment_69829" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Microsoft[/caption] Microsoft admitted this and has already fixed the error. “Microsoft has received reports of an issue that prevents Windows updates released on October 10, 2023 (KB5031356) from installing. Devices may initially show progress, but then fail to complete installation, Microsoft said. — According to our reports, one of the most common errors is error 8007000D (ERROR_INVALID_DATA). This error can be found in the Windows Update view under System Settings by selecting Update History. Microsoft addressed the issue over the weekend with Known Issue Rollback, a Windows feature that lets you undo buggy non-security updates distributed through Windows Update. Correction may take up to 24 hours. Users can also restart their Windows devices.

The deal was announced early last year. The deal between Activision Blizzard and Microsoft is finally closed. Microsoft Gaming and Xbox head Phil Spencer announced that Activision is now part of Xbox Game Studios.   [caption id="attachment_68015" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Microsoft[/caption] The deal was announced back in January 2022, but it was not closed in the original time frame. Sony actively interfered with this, and the British regulator was also against it at first. However, Microsoft managed to solve all the problems and close the deal.   Call of Duty and Diablo are now owned by Microsoft. Let's remember that the purchase of Activision Blizzard cost Microsoft a very impressive 68.7 billion dollars, which made this deal the largest in the video game industry, and it will likely remain so for a very long time. It's also Microsoft's biggest acquisition yet, which is quite curious considering it's not primarily a gaming company.  Together with Activision Blizzard, all franchises of the first company were transferred to Microsoft. These are Warcraft, Diablo, Overwatch, Candy Crush, and much more. Of course, first of all, this is the Call of Duty series, which brings a lot of money to its creators. To appease regulators, Microsoft had to enter into deals with several companies that meant that Call of Duty games would be released on other people's platforms for the next 10 years.  It's important to note that now that the deal is complete, don't expect every Activision Blizzard game to be included in Game Pass right away. This would especially appeal to active Call of Duty players. However, in the foreseeable future, the company's games will begin to be included in the subscription service, although there are no details on this yet. At a minimum, Modern Warfare 3 and Diablo IV will not appear there until the end of this year.

The company will appeal According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Microsoft owes the US Treasury $28.9 billion in unpaid taxes, penalties, and interest. That figure, which Microsoft disputes, is based on a long-running IRS investigation into how Microsoft distributed its profits across countries and jurisdictions between 2004 and 2013. Critics of the practice, known as transfer pricing, argue that companies often use it to minimize their tax burden by reporting lower profits in high-tax countries and higher profits in lower-tax jurisdictions. [caption id="attachment_65719" align="aligncenter" width="768"] Microsoft[/caption] Microsoft accused of evading payments of almost $30 billion Microsoft, headquartered in Redmond, Washington, said it followed IRS rules and would appeal the agency's decision. This process is expected to take several years. The company has since changed its practices to "the issues raised by the IRS are relevant to the past but not to our current practices." Microsoft estimates that any taxes due after the audit will be cut by up to $10 billion under tax legislation passed by Donald Trump. Microsoft shares fell $1.42 to $331.

The innovations were supposed to come into force on October 16, 2023 Microsoft has decided to abandon its controversial policy innovation regarding photo storage in the OneDrive cloud service. The company began warning about the upcoming innovation more than a month ago, which caused a lot of negative reviews. [caption id="attachment_64919" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Microsoft[/caption] Initially, it was said that photos saved in “Gallery” and “Albums” would be counted separately in Microsoft’s overall storage quota. As a result, the same photos will be counted twice, which means they will take up twice as much space. Microsoft has canceled the controversial change to OneDrive, which “devours” the available volumes After studying user reviews, the company decided to retreat and leave everything as it is. On one of the Microsoft 365 support pages, the company announced: On August 31, 2023, we began announcing an upcoming update to our cloud storage infrastructure that will change how OneDrive photo and photo album data counts toward your overall cloud storage quota. This change is scheduled to go live on October 16, 2023. Based on feedback received, we have adjusted our approach and will no longer be rolling out this update. We will keep the current version of the photo album as it is now. Let us remind you that the “Gallery” stores all the images uploaded to OneDrive. However, users also get an additional album feature that they can use to create their collections of photos and images on the site.

Even those who can't use it Like it or not, the Windows Backup app installed in Windows 10 and Windows 11 is here to stay, with Microsoft calling it a "system component" that can't be removed. [caption id="attachment_63295" align="alignnone" width="780"] Microsoft[/caption] Users who did not have the application installed began receiving it automatically on August 22, 2023. The Windows Backup app has become a must-have for all Windows 10 and Windows 11 users, even those who can't use it. Microsoft imposes controversial Windows Backup on users [caption id="attachment_63296" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Microsoft[/caption] Because Windows Backup requires a Microsoft account, Azure Active Directory (AAD) and (Active Directory) AD users cannot use the application to back up their data. Windows Backup saves specific files and folders, as well as settings, account information, and applications. All this information is stored in the cloud, so the device can be easily restored by connecting to the Internet. An additional problem is that using Windows Backup can quickly require you to upgrade to a more expensive Microsoft cloud storage plan. In response to negative reviews, Microsoft stated that "because Windows Backup is a system component, it cannot be removed." However, the company has promised to release an update to prevent the app from appearing in the interface, specifically on Windows 10 Pro, Education, and Enterprise editions, as well as Windows 11 that use AAD and AD. Simply put, the application will continue to be present in the system but will be hidden and no longer noticeable.
