See the canonical version of this blog post at the Microsoft Open Source Blog! Ten years ago, Microsoft released the source for MS-DOS 1.25 and 2.0 to the Computer History Museum, and then later republished them for reference purposes. This code holds an important place in history and is a fascinating read of an operating system that was written entirely in 8086 assembly code nearly 45 years ago. Today, in partnership with IBM and in the spirit of open innovation, we’re releasing the source code to MS-DOS 4.00 under the MIT license. There’s a somewhat complex and fascinating…
Elizabeth Figura, a Wine Developer at CodeWeavers, speaks with host Jeremy Jung about the Wine compatibility layer and the Proton distribution. They discuss a wide range of details including system calls, what people run with Wine, how games are built differently, conformance and regression testing, native performance, emulating a CPU vs emulating system calls, the role of the Proton downstream distribution, improving Wine compatibility by patching the Linux kernel and other related projects, Wine’s history and sustainment, the Crossover commercial distribution, porting games without source code, loading executables and linked libraries, the difference between user space and kernel space, poor…
To determine the extent to which organizational data performance has improved as generative AI and other AI advances have taken hold, MIT Technology Review Insights surveyed 800 senior data and technology executives. We also conducted in-depth interviews with 15 technology and business leaders. Key findings from the report include the following: • Few data teams are keeping pace with AI. Organizations are doing no better today at delivering on data strategy than in pre-generative AI days. Among those surveyed in 2025, 12% are self-assessed data “high achievers” compared with 13% in 2021. Shortages of skilled talent remain a constraint, but…
Network resilience is a critical concern for every business, regardless of size or industry. While modern equipment is more reliable than ever, the reality is that physical interruptions—from fiber cuts to car accidents—are an unavoidable part of the network landscape.
Vodafone Idea Limited (VIL), the third-largest telecom operator in the country, has added active users after a long gap of 21 months. But what’s noticeable about this is that the gain is almost close to nothing. The telco’s active subscriber base went up from 171.52 million in August 2025 to 171.54 million in September 2025. This means an effective gain of just 0.02 million active users. This is not remotely enough to make any material difference in the telco’s business. However, it could be a sign of a changing business. The telco has invested pretty much the most in the…
As Cadence Design Systems leverages AI to push ever more deeply into computational science, what does that mean for engineers? WASHINGTON DC, Oct. 28, 2025: — NVIDIA’s GTC DC event, a first-time riff on its flagship confab, is showcasing how the latest and greatest in artificial intelligence (AI) is being used (broadly) for business transformation and process automation. But behind these advancements are legions of engineers who are using AI to design the increasingly complex systems underlying things like real-time aerospace design, digital twins of data centers, multi-physics simulation and so forth. One of the things I wanted to gain insight…
Starlink, the satellite broadband provider operated by SpaceX, is growing its presence in Africa—and we have updates for 2025.

This week, we’re bringing AI-powered building to employees across the organization, with new agents for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers in the Frontier program: App Builder and Workflows. Using these agents and Copilot Studio, Copilot now enables employees to turn ideas into impact by creating apps, workflows, and agents—just as easily as having a conversation. Describe what you need in natural language, and Copilot helps you build it. And because the outputs are integrated with your Copilot experience, they’re secure, governed, and connected to your Microsoft 365 data. Imagine you’re preparing for a product launch. With a few multi-turn interactions, Copilot…
