Microsoft Copilot vs. Gemini Spark

The Next AI O/S For The Future of Work
In 2007, the most secure, most managed, most IT-approved phone in the world was the BlackBerry. Enterprises loved it. It had a keyboard the thumbs trusted, encryption the security team trusted, controls the CIO trusted. It was built, from the silicon up, for the company.

This reminds me of Stewart Brand’s pace layers concept. Fast innovates. Slow stabilizes. Governance always lags.




One year after Microsoft laid me off

Hi Gabriela, thanks for sharing your story. I remember 1 year ago, you made it in the news and we were all a bit surprised about this. I had a similar experience recently and the thing I got in common is going to a shop and buy a new computer! It's a strange feeling but that made me feel a bit more in-control of myself. Happy to read your future stories. Ciao from Italy! :)

I’ve been at Microsoft 14 years and am fairly certain this July’s layoff round will mark the end of my tenure. These words “That’s what sustained layoff threats do to people. They don’t just cut jobs. They cut your sense of safety. Your ability to focus. Your trust in the institution.” resonate deeply and I hope I have the strength to make that call to my team - 18 people I have coached, mentored, managed and care deeply about.

Wow - I completely appreciate all that you do to help people understand AI Sabrina. I have a Sabrina folder on my local PC where I store and keep your vids.
It's taken me a bit longer than I figured to get going with it all - but your videos are the ones I always turn to. So, thanks for that ...

Microsoft: The Agentic Era Has a New Landlord

Q3 2026 Review: Wiseman Cap
The gap between what Microsoft’s stock has done and what Microsoft’s business has done over the past twelve months is one of the more interesting setups I have come across in a while. The stock is down 7% from a year ago. The business printed three consecutive quarters of accelerating cloud growth, crossed a $37 billion artificial intelligence revenue r…

I am currently ~95% of portfolio invested in Microsoft. One reason for such a large exposure is due to usage of Copilot in my org. Copilot has the potential to generate 100bln plus revenue per annum in the foreseeable future. the usage of tokens is immense in my org. No competitor has the access to an enterprise employee’s PC directly when she boots it up immediately. Copilot is just everywhere. Cowork was introduced few days back, its usage is growing like a weed. Give it a time to stock price to reflect the reality we are going to face in a year or two. Satya knows what he is doing. great summary btw. Appreciate the writeup

The key shift is that Microsoft is no longer just selling software seats.
It is trying to turn enterprise workflow into metered infrastructure.
That makes the capex debate harder. If AI agents become real operating layers, the spend is a toll-road buildout. If adoption stalls, it becomes expensive depreciation.
