One thing I love about the Visual Studio installer are the hints that pop up when there are updates, or new releases. Small things that matter :)

Exploring SSMS 22 Preview 3: New GitHub Copilot Features
A few minutes ago, I came across a post on LinkedIn by Erin Stellato, highlighting the post from Makena Barickman on the release of SSMS 22, preview 3. If you've been following my blogs, you've read that I'm a keen follower of the latest editions of SSMS, especially now that Copilot is integrated. From very early previews to the current preview implementation of your own model in Azure OpenAI with Azure AI Foundry, I've tested them and driven them mad.
