Microsoft 50th anniversary event: How to watch live

Microsoft turns the big 5-0 today (April 4), and the company is kicking off the celebration with a live Copilot event, rumored to include a suite of new announcements for the AI tool, as well as a nostalgic look back on the tech giant’s storied history.

Windows fans can expect an appearance from Copilot CEO Mustafa Suleyman — and select deals on Microsoft products — but the real star of the show is the iconic Windows 95 logo, back in all its glory to honor Microsoft’s more humble beginnings.

Head over to Microsoft’s X page for a another festive birthday surprise.
