- Microsoft launches the Agent Governance Toolkit, an open-source runtime security framework for autonomous AI agents, to enhance OS-level security, trust, and compliance.
- Microsoft continues its software preservation efforts by releasing the earliest discovered DOS source code, including 86-DOS 1.00 and PC-DOS 1.00, along with development snapshots and utilities like CHKDSK.
- The preserved materials, such as scanned listings and hand-written notes from Tim Paterson, provide a timeline of changes and insights into early operating system development in the 1970s-1980s.
- The DOS source code and artifacts have been donated to the Interim Computer Museum and made accessible via GitHub under an MIT license for research and public study.
