This is all about building a new relationship with technology, one that understands, adapts, and works to your preference.

August 24, 1995, was one of the biggest moments in PC and @microsoft.com history. Windows 95 launched, bringing personal computing mainstream, and at the same time, we were already looking ahead, shipping Internet Explorer 1.0 as the web took off.

Which is why today with Copilot, we’re excited to start rolling out even more powerful capabilities to all Copilot users with free, unlimited access to Voice and Think Deeper (powered by Open AI’s o1 model).

Our long-held belief has been when AI is truly democratized, we’ll be able to better empower people to harness its power.

Copilot is ready to make your day. This reaction says it all:

That’s why this update hits home. Copilot Voice now speaks 40+ languages. Whether you’re learning, missing the comfort of your first language, or wanting to connect with family around the world.

I count myself fortunate to have experienced a rich mixture of cultures growing up. My mom, a Spanish teacher from Mexico. My dad, an engineer from India. Our extended family? A mix of cultures and languages.

The first @microsoft.com Surface launched in 2012 with focused goal: a tablet that could replace your laptop. Simple idea, not-so-simple execution.

The keyboard? Had to feel perfect.
The experience? Seamless.
And yes… lapability was a must.

This year’s Super Bowl ads reinforced a shift. AI is becoming more familiar, nostalgia still pulls us in, and consumer expectations for relevance and connection keep rising. The best marketers aren’t just adapting to change, they’re setting the pace for what comes next.

Instead of relying on a single TV spot, brands are extending their storytelling. Some leaned into social-first strategies, others made the audience part of the message, and a few found ways to turn functional product stories into something aspirational.

Super Bowl ads are shifting from one-off moments to ongoing conversations. The formula used to be simple: big stars, big laughs, big budget. Now, more brands are designing campaigns for earned media and engagement beyond game day.

AI played a bigger role than ever. For the first time, it wasn’t just behind the scenes of the game, but part of the conversation. Some positioned it as an everyday assistant, while others experimented with AI-generated content.

Some leaned into humor with consistent narratives that kept viewers engaged. Others took a heartfelt approach, focusing on universal themes that made people feel something. The common thread was authenticity.
