Office LTSC 2024

Office LTSC 2024 should be with us later in the year and it’s currently in commercial preview. Here are some useful facts: it will be 10% more expensive than Office LTSC 2021, it won’t ship with Publisher as that’s being retired, and Microsoft have committed to another LTSC release in the future.

Find the original announcement article here: https://bit.ly/3TjTyWj, and an update here: https://bit.ly/4fSLrtd. Office’s best friends, Project 2024 and Visio 2024, are also in preview and expected to be generally available later in the year too.

Copilot for Security

Microsoft announce that Copilot for Security will be generally available on April 1st, 2024.

If you’re not sure how Copilot fits in with security then this video (https://bit.ly/3VBv5h5) is a good minute-long overview of AI-powered security.

Customers will be able to choose a standalone Copilot experience or an embedded one (find a good diagram on the announcement page here: https://bit.ly/3TV4Qkf) and both will be billed on a consumption model. It’s all going to work via a new Security Compute Unit (SCU) which costs $4/hour billed, as usual, against an existing or new Azure Subscription.
