Update, 11:42 am ET: We've added information about iMessage support in the Your Phone app.
Original story: Today, Microsoft announced 2023's first major batch of updates for Windows 11, part of the company's plan to release new Windows features "when they are ready" instead of waiting for the big annual update in the fall.
The headliner, at least for people who have signed up for the AI-powered preview of "the new Bing," is support for those AI-powered Bing features (including the infamous Bing chatbot) in the Windows taskbar. We've written more about those features separately. The other changes are more typical of a regular Windows 11 release, featuring a combination of things we've seen before and stuff Microsoft has been testing in its Insider Preview channels for the last few weeks or months.
