For those curious, we’re inside a tent with an entire stage, carpet, and even AC power; there is not a lot of media here, but lots of Microsoft employees, as after the Copilot stuff, this will be about their 50th Anniversary.
Anyway, here’s what it looks like.
And there’s a live band that’s quite loud (Alan Stone), but they seem to be having fun, so that’s good 🎶🎸
And looks like Phil Spencer is here! It is Microsoft’s 50th and today is A Minecraft Movie day, so lots going with gaming and Microsoft today.
Hey everyone! Windows Central is seated, well, at lest I am. We’ll be starting in about 30 minutes, so grab a coffee (or a beer if in the UK) and relax a bit. – Daniel Rubino, Editor-in-chief
And we’re inside! Getting seated now. Show begins in just under 40 minutes.
We’ve arrived on the Microsoft Campus in Redmond! We’re just grabbing some breakfast and getting set up with access to the venue, but we should be in and seated very soon. Exciting times!
The event will likely be all about Copilot as an app and service. Last year, Microsoft redesigned Copilot with a brand new interface designed to be more friendly and approachable. Perhaps today’s event will be about making Copilot even more human-like with better interactions and capabilities.
Last month, Microsoft even launched a brand new Copilot app for Windows with native UI elements, which looks beautiful! We’re hoping to see Microsoft build upon this app, tying it more closely to Windows 11 with unique AI features.
Microsoft has remained tight-lipped about what exactly it will announce. Some had hoped that it would announce new Surface hardware, as that has been rumored to be arriving this spring.
However, we believe that new Surface hardware is unlikely to be announced today. Microsoft’s next wave of Surface hardware is expected to be announced sometime next month instead.
If you’d like to know more about the next wave of Surface hardware, be sure to check out our exclusive report on Microsoft’s upcoming smaller Surface PCs! We’re expecting a smaller Surface Pro and Surface Laptop with screen sizes around 12 inches, powered by Snapdragon X Plus.
Today however, is all about Copilot!

Today’s the day!
Microsoft will soon be getting ready to open its 50th Anniversary Copilot Event at 9:30 AM PT, and our Editor-in-Chief, Daniel Rubino, is on the ground ready to hear what the company has to say.
Stay tuned to our live blog for the latest news as it happens, possibly even before the event officially starts.
