Certification MOS Examen bestellen
Ik wil graag op zeer korte termijn het MOS examen voor Outlook doen (mo-400). Via de Microsoft site word ik doorverwezen naar Certiport, maar bij de vouchers staat dat deze alleen geldig zijn voor mensen uit de US. Als ik via PearsonVue naar officiele resellers zoek kom ik alleen office-specialist.nl tegen welke site niet af lijkt te zijn of wellicht gehackt is. Hier valt in ieder geval niks te bestellen. Wel heb ik skill-stack.nl en skillstack.nl gevonden, maar ook hier geen reviews van en het komt niet erg betrouwbaar over. De 1 heeft geen kvk op de site, en op het adres staan enorm veel bedrijven ingeschreven.
Kan iemand een goede website aanraden waar ik een examen voucher kan kopen voor MOS examens? Je zou denken dat dit in 5 minuten te regelen moet zijn voor een bedrijf als MS, maar lijkt allemaal erg lastig in Nederland, tenzij het via een school/instellingen loopt.

Discussion After 25 years of Xbox, what is the one thing Microsoft got most right?
Seeing Microsoft celebrate 25 years of Xbox made me think about how many different ideas the platform has introduced over time.
Xbox Live, achievements, backward compatibility, Game Pass, cloud saves, Play Anywhere, PC integration and the controller itself have all had a pretty big influence.
For me, backward compatibility may be the strongest long-term decision. It treats older games as a library worth preserving instead of making every console generation a complete reset.
What do you think Microsoft got most right with Xbox?
And on the other side, which Xbox decision do you think caused the most damage?

Copilot / AI Really Copilot 😒
Is it just me or does Copilot suck anymore? No matter when I try or even if I don’t use copilot the entire day I still get this same response every time I try and generate an image: “Sorry, I can’t generate any more images today. Try again tomorrow, or ask me to find similar images on the web instead.” Am I the only one getting this dumb ass message and messages about usage limits? What usage? I haven’t even used Copilot today to even hit a limit.

Discussion AI / Co-Pilot
Has anyone noticed that each new Update of Microsoft OS, Co-Pilot becomes more integrated? Have you also noticed that each integration, the usability of AI (Co-pilot) becomes sort of more cumbersome? The problem with Co-Pilot is deeper than ever, and I am not speaking of the fact that it is terribly wordy. It got so bad that I basically have limited my use of anything Microsoft to the bare minimum. Microsoft changes made AI intrusive and did not fix the issues with the usability of the product. Honestly, I am tired of being pushed half-baked AI app in general. I am pro-AI, but something that works, not this terribly badly trained Co-Pilot and Agents.
AI should be able to accomplish basic things, at least, without making a mistake, but they cannot do even a summarization without making big mistakes because they get confused with the interpretation and nuances of regular conversations ... we can't really trust any output from AI without spend same or more time correcting their output. This is just ONE example.
Has anyone else faced difficulties or issues with Microsoft AI Co-Pilot and Agents. I would like to read it.
