Show Notes

In this episode of *Cloudy with a Chance of Insights*, Richard, Cyrus, and David return from a brief hiatus to deliver all the latest around the Microsoft Cloud ecosystem. The team dives into the evolving world of Microsoft 365, including speculation about the highly anticipated E7 license. They break down what this next-level license could mean for organizations, discuss the potential pricing, and debate whether the new bundled approach makes sense for enterprises navigating an increasingly fragmented Microsoft licensing landscape.

Cyrus and Richard also unpack the newest updates across Intune and Purview, giving listeners an inside look at recent announcements and how these tools are adapting to modern security and compliance demands. The conversation expands to cover the latest in AI, with a spotlight on Microsoft’s strategy of leveraging external frontier models like Claude, Gemini, and Grok, plus hands-on impressions of GitHub Copilot’s recent improvements.
