We're pulling together the power of the Microsoft Graph and AI technology from Bing to deliver future experiences that are more relevant to what you are working on,” the company said.

Microsoft says the new default Bing is coming to Office 365 ProPlus Version 2002 in the following countries:

  • Australia
  • Canada
  • France
