Description

Enjoy Leo's many hats in this fun and silly edition of Windows Weekly. Happy Halloween!

Windows 11

  • Yes, Windows 11 version 24H2 got its preview update for October too, a few days late as expected
  • 24H2 was a surprisingly big platform shift - no enablement updates - faster updates going forward
  • Dev and Beta get new builds, minor changes in each

Microsoft 365/AI/dev

  • Teams is... getting weird
  • Microsoft 365 apps get Handoff support on Apple devices
  • Notion Mail - a light alternatives to Google Workspace and M365?
  • GitHub Copilot goes multi-LLM
  • Apple Intelligence wave one arrives, mostly to indifference. Wave two in December. EU is getting it in the Spring
  • New Macs this week with M4. But the big news? 16 GB of RAM, minimum. Finally.
  • The Browser Company can't realize its vision for the future with Arc

Earnings/Corporate

  • Microsoft and Google duke it out over Cloud licensing - This one is getting ugly
  • Google - $88.3 billion in revenues
  • AMD - OK, but dominated by Intel on PCs and NVIDIA in AI/datacenter

Xbox

  • More games, more people, more devices, Microsoft says
  • Less emphasis on console but what might a next-gen console look like? Arm? Mobile? Third-party hardware makers?
  • Cloud Gaming is limited to the most expensive Game Pass tier - that has to change, and what about a standalone tier?
  • Mobile app stores are coming - but what about native mobile games?
  • Call of Duty Black Ops 6 lands on PC Game Pass, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and Cloud Gaming - Paul puts aside his grudge and gives it a shot
  • Microsoft previews new Home experience for Xbox app on Windows

Tips and Picks

  • Tip of the week: It might be time to look at the Raspberry Pi again
  • App pick of the week: My God, it's full of web browsers
  • RunAs Radio this week: Updating Windows on ARM with Aria Hanson
  • Brown liquor pick of the week: Laird of the Fintry Black Label Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky
