Microsoft celebrates its 50th anniversary this week, and to mark the occasion the company hosted a special Copilot-focused event at its headquarters in Redmond. It's notable that Microsoft marked its 50th by talking up Copilot, the AI-enhanced assistant now built into Windows, Word, PowerPoint and other Microsoft products.

Microsoft hosted a special live event at its headquarters today (April 4) to mark its 50th anniversary and promote the new features coming to its Copilot AI assistant. But less than 30 minutes in, something unexpected happened. Tom's Guide was there in person to witness a protestor interrupt Microsoft Copilot CEO Mustafa Suleyman in the middle of his presentation. The woman began decrying Microsoft's business of selling AI tools and technologies to Israel specifically for use in combat.

Microsoft Copilot has been around for a few years now, but it hasn't always been called Copilot. I know because I cover Microsoft for a living, and I was at Microsoft HQ in February 2023 when CEO Satya Nadella unveiled the first version of Copilot with the unwieldy name Bing with ChatGPT.

If you own a Copilot+ PC powered by an Intel or AMD chip, good news: it's getting a bit more capable this month as Microsoft rolls out a big Windows Copilot update. If you own one of the best AI laptops or PCs with a Snapdragon chip inside you've already seen a lot of these new features, but this month you get advance access to a new Voice Access upgrade that the folks on AMD and Intel chips will be waiting months to see.

I don't know about you, but I loved my Nintendo 3DS back in the day because the illusion of depth provided by the lenticular screen made playing games feel less like a distraction and more like peeking into a tiny world. I felt a little hint of that old magic this week as I started testing Acer's Predator SpatialLabs View 27 monitor, which costs a cool $2,999 and is capable of delivering glasses-free 3D experiences thanks to its 27-inch stereoscopic 3D display.
