Microsoft releases a Windows 11 update that adds the new AI-powered Bing search to the taskbar, Phone Link for iOS, screen recording, Notepad tabs, and more
here's what it looks like Chance Miller / 9to5Mac : Microsoft somehow brings iMessage to Windows, will it last? Brad Linder / Liliputing : Windows 11 update brings AI-powered Bing to the Search Box, tabs to Notepad, Phone Link for iOS, and more Maria Deutscher / SiliconANGLE : Microsoft updates Windows 11 with Bing chatbot and new enterprise features Ali Hasnain / iThinkDifferent : Microsoft adds new AI-powered Bing Chat to the taskbar in Windows 11 Mary Branscombe / TechRepublic : Windows 11 update brings Bing Chat into the taskbar Will Shanklin / Engadget : Windows 11 Phone Link supports limited iPhone syncing in preview Monica J. White / Digital Trends : New Windows 11 update adds ChatGPT-powered Bing AI to the taskbar Lance Ulanoff / TechRadar : Microsoft is bringing AI Bing and chat-powered searches to Windows 11 Mayank Parmar / Windows Latest : Windows 11 KB5022913 Moment 2 released with new features (download links) Mauro Huc / Pureinfotech : Windows 11 22H2 second feature drop releases Chris Morris / Fortune : Microsoft is making it even easier for you to launch Bing's occasionally creepy A.I. chatbot with a Windows 11 update Darren Allan / TweakTown : Windows 11 invites Bing chatbot to make itself at home on your taskbar Tweets: Panos Panay / @panos_panay : Pumped to introduce today's major update to #Windows11. This update brings incredible new features the team built just for you. From bringing the new AI powered Bing to the taskbar to improvements across touch, accessibility and more. https://blogs.windows.com/... Tobi Lutke / @tobi : Microsoft is dancing. Others are awkwardly watching from the side, wishing they had the practice and the courage. https://twitter.com/... @drjimfan : ChatGPT has done the impossible: it made me excited about a Windows update ... Windows could be the first AI-first OS 👀. In future versions, we may be able to *talk to* our folders and get jobs done through a dialogue bar, without opening any file. Just wild. https://twitter.com/... Scott Hanselman / @shanselman : I've been testing this and it's pretty cool. You can make calls and get iMessage/SMS notifications from your iPhone and reply to them from your PC. The bad part is all Apple's locked down APIs. This works because of Bluetooth profiles allowing notifications. Can't sync messages. https://twitter.com/... Patrick Moorhead / @patrickmoorhead : Strongest adders to me: -Search box @Bing with #GenerativeAI -iOS phone link -Android hotspot -surfacing Studio Effects -Snipping Tool video (woot) Hopeful voice transcription works better. $MSFT https://twitter.com/... Parker Ortolani / @parkerortolani : I'll bet there is a lot of technical hoop jumping going on behind the scenes. Wonder if Apple will try to squash this... https://twitter.com/... Sami Fathi / @samifathi_ : These are some really exciting updates to Windows 11. Looking forward to trying them on my Surface Studio Laptop, especially the weird iMessage gimmick? https://blogs.windows.com/... @surface : Pumped is an understatement 💪 https://twitter.com/... Shilpa Ranganathan / @shilparan : Our team is so proud to bring this new #Windows11 update to you. We can't wait to see how the new AI features will delight you, and we have new ways to stay connected to those you care about, new ways to present information, and more accessibility and sustainability features. https://twitter.com/... Jon Christian / @jon_christian : “we have developed a powerful, poorly-understood AI and are immediately integrating it into the world's most popular operating system” would be a bit on-the-nose for a sci-fi horror premise https://www.theverge.com/... Zac Bowden / @zacbowden : In case you were wondering what today's Windows 11 feature update/drop is called, the answer is it doesn't have a name because Microsoft hates clarity Mehedi / @mehedih_ : Microsoft managed to get iPhone syncing to work with Windows 11, very interesting https://blogs.windows.com/... https://twitter.com/... Tom Warren / @tomwarren : @bdsams when you send a message to a fellow iPhone user via Phone Link it will be delivered via iMessage Brad Sams / @bdsams : About to be a lot of noise that Windows 11 now works with iPhones...which it does but not in the way you want it to. Yes it supports message sync..but does not support group messaging, media messaging or ( i believe) iMessage https://twitter.com/... Tom Warren / @tomwarren : the Phone Link app for Windows 11 has now been updated to support iOS. You'll get the iPhone button here once Microsoft unlocks more people into the preview https://www.theverge.com/... https://twitter.com/... Tom Warren / @tomwarren : Microsoft's Phone Link app now lets you use iMessage from your PC 👏 You can send / receive messages, make calls, and see your notifications from your iPhone right on your Windows PC or laptop 🙏 Details here: https://www.theverge.com/... Glenn Gabe / @glenngabe : We have Bing Chat, Bing Chat in the Edge sidebar, and now Bing Chat in the *Windows 11 Taskbar*. Microsoft is moving fast. I'm sure Google will implement Bard across Chromebooks & Android, but it's still in the works. Exciting times in Search Land. :) https://twitter.com/... Yusuf Mehdi / @yusuf_i_mehdi : Today, we take the next step in our AI journey, bringing the new Bing right to the Windows taskbar for millions of people with the new Windows 11 update. https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...

Zac Bowden / @zacbowden : Windows 11 22H2 ‘Moment 2’ is official, and is available starting today! It includes touch enhancements, updates to the Widgets Panel, taskbar updates, and even Bing Chat prompts in the Windows Search flyout: https://www.windowscentral.com/ ... https://twitter.com/... Yusuf Mehdi / @yusuf_i_mehdi : Today, we take the next step in our AI journey, bringing the new Bing Search right to the Windows taskbar for millions of people with the new Windows 11 update. https://t.co/hiKu6xSFDG https://t.co/uZ7op6gYup @alex : well, windows now has modern AI in it, that was *quick* https://t.co/ZdRAJSycFz Tom Warren / @tomwarren : Microsoft is bringing its AI-powered Bing to the Windows 11 taskbar today.

Full details here: https://www.theverge.com/... @martinsfp : Amazing how quickly conversational A.I. interfaces are popping up all over the place. I wonder how many will still be around in a couple of years. They *can* be useful, but like voice assistants before them, not everything will need one. https://twitter.com/...
