Microsoft announces new AI tools and gaming strategy across Xbox and Windows

Microsoft announced several new AI features and gaming initiatives. The company's Copilot AI assistant is coming to current Xbox consoles this year, and a new Copilot Health tool can connect to medical records and wearables to give advice. Separately, Microsoft is working to eliminate the 'compiling shaders' wait times that slow down PC gaming.

In other company news, Rajesh Jha, who led the Windows and Office divisions, is retiring and has named successors. Microsoft also teased its next Xbox console, saying it will play both Xbox and PC games, and encouraged developers to build next-gen Xbox games by building them for PC first.
