Microsoft has released Visual Studio 2022 17.3 Preview 2. This is a major release because it is the first version of the IDE to pack native support for ARM64 hardware, but only on Windows 11 for now.

OpenAI's much-hyped GPT-5 AI model is now available as part of Microsoft Copilot. Here's what you need to know.

Visual Studio now lets you control Copilot completions, hide next edit suggestions, and accept code in smaller parts.

Microsoft has brought full Model Context Protocol (MCP) support to Visual Studio, enhancing AI workflow integration.

Once installed, Windows AI Studio adds a new chip-like icon in the Visual Studio Code extensions sidebar. Tap this to launch the Windows AI Studio development environment.

I know you can install Windows 11 for ARM in Parallels and then run Visual Studio and SQL Server on top of that (with ARM-x64 emulation, I guess?), but IIS support was missing last I checked.
