Mike introduces the Visual Studio Code January update, noting its release in February and improvements over the last update.

• The update builds upon the last update, which Mike found impressive.
• Mike sets the stage to discuss three new features with varying levels of appeal.

Mike demonstrates the new per-window zoom feature, which allows independent zoom levels for each detached window.

• Previously, zooming affected all windows, but now each window can have its own zoom level.
• Mike shows how to enable the feature, which is on by default, and demonstrates its practical use.

Mike explores the integration of voice commands with GitHub Copilot for generating code and contextual help.

• By saying 'Hey code', users can instruct Copilot to write code or ask contextual questions.
• This feature's utility depends on user preferences and the coding context.

Mike details the new triggered breakpoints feature, explaining how it enhances the debugging process.

• Breakpoints can be set to trigger only after a specific condition is met.
• Mike demonstrates how to set a triggered breakpoint and its practical application in a code example.

Mike wraps up with a mention of other features in the January update and his appreciation for the per-window zoom.

• Mike notes improvements to multifile diff editing, sticky scroll, and options for discarding empty Untitled files.
• The per-window zoom feature is highlighted as particularly transformative for multi-monitor setups.
