Source: Microsoft Blog — Microsoft Build 2026: Be yourself at work (June 2, 2026, Kyle Daigle)
At Build 2026, Kyle Daigle describes the developer duality: tinkerer choosing tools versus enterprise builder demanding governance and trust. Microsoft’s answer is model diversity, an open stack, and choice at every layer.
Three themes
Intelligence that’s truly yours — build with Microsoft IQ in GitHub, deploy to Foundry, access via Teams and M365 without trading context for control.
The full stack, your way — from Surface RTX Spark Dev Box through Windows agent sandboxes (MXC) to Foundry hosted agents at scale.
What comes next — Microsoft Discovery GA and quantum progress with Majorana 2.
