  • Windows Weekly 927: Up to Stuff

    Introducing the Windows 11 Feature Tracker


    "From the 'I should have done this two years ago' files, the 'I have wasted my life' files, and the, 'great, I needed more work to do' files ... There is a need for this. So I made one. But it will evolve. Maybe into a web app/wiki/something else... like a Notion website?" - Paul

  • Patch Tuesday brings a metric ton of new features - And what the tracker showed clearly
  • Two seconds after posting the tracker, Microsoft changed the Copilot app yet again - proving the need for the tracker - And demonstrating why the Insider Program is so screwed up
  • A hidden new Start menu in recent builds presents an interesting conundrum: How to handle something Microsoft has not announced?

    • More Windows 11

  • Beta build for 23H2: File new tab/new window changes, Explorer context menu regression may be permanent
  • Dev and Beta (24H2): Taskbar icon scaling is a blast from the past we all need desperately
  • Intel is killing Unison app and service

    • Like winter, Build is coming

  • Build session catalog is live - mostly AI as expected. Paul and Richard are going
  • Overview of the Windows Copilot Runtime (one year after it was announced), Windows Actions, standard Kayla Cinnamon talk on Windows productivity, using your own model with WCR, native app experiences(!), Arm64 app perf, etc.

    • AI

  • Final thoughts on Microsoft's 50th: Biggest accomplishment wasn't any tech, it was changing with the times.
  • What it's best at: Democratizing tech for the commoners, an expansion on Jack Tramiel/Commodore's "computers for the masses, not the classes" schtick. And that is exactly what it is doing with AI right now
  • Microsoft hosts a consumer AI event and announces a metric ton of new Copilot features
  • We need a Copilot feature tracker. Copilot = every single feature other AIs have - Copilot Actions on the web, memory and personalization, Copilot Vision on mobile and Windows, AI-generated podcasts and Microsoft releases Copilot Search in Bing
  • Is AI turning us all into Charly from Flowers for Algernon?
  • AI is making us stupider! There are studies!!
  • This is the argument against every single tech advance from the steam train to the ballpoint pen to this
  • Microsoft's AI demo of vibe-coded Quake II highlights the problem nicely
  • Sometimes it's the little things: AI recaps for book series in Kindle
  • GitHub Copilot updated with Agent Mode, Cursor-style code overviews, more

    • Xbox & gaming

  • Microsoft announces new Xbox Games Showcase for June
  • Edge Game Assist gets new features, support for new games
  • GTA V and enhanced version for PC coming to Game Pass on April 15 - In addition to the previous Game Pass titles we discussed last week

            • Windows Weekly 926: You're Ugly When You Cry

              Bill Gates celebrates the 50th anniversary of Microsoft with the release of the source code for Altair BASIC 1.0. Plus, Paul celebrates with 99 cent books: The Windows 10 Field Guide, Windows 11 Field Guide, and Windows Everywhere are all 99 cents for 24 hours! Also available: Eternal Spring: Our Guide to Mexico City in preview!

              Windows

            • The plot thickens. Paul writes epic take on future of Windows 11, describes Dev channel-only features and when/if they were ever released - in other words, an extensive but partial Windows 11 feature roadmap for 2025
            • Two days later, Microsoft announces a Windows 11 feature road map - one that is woefully incomplete, pathetic, and sad
            • Microsoft announces when (sort of) new on-device AI features will come to all Copilot+ PCs, meaning Intel and AMD, too - "not a glimpse at the future of the PC, but the future of the PC."
            • Live captions with live language translations, Cocreator in Paint, Restyle image and Image creator in Photos, plus Voice access with flexible natural language (Snapdragon X only)
            • But not Recall or Click to Do in preview, go figure
            • As expected, March 2024 Preview update for 24H2 arrives, a few days late - with AI-powered search experience enabled
            • Dev and Beta builds - Friday - Quick Machine Recovery (Beta only?), Speech recap in Narrator, Blue screen to get less blue, WinKey + C shortcut for Copilot returns, Spanish and French Text actions in Click to Do, Edit images in Share, AI-powered search (Dev only?)
            • Then, Microsoft more fully describes Windows Quick Recovery
            • Beta (23H2) - Monday - A lot of familiar 24H2 features - Narrator improvements, Copilot WinKey + C, Share with Image edit, plus System -- About FAQ for some freaking reason
            • Proton Drive is now native on Windows 11 on Arm, everyone gets new features
            • Proton VPN is now built into Vivaldi desktop browser
            • Intel's new CEO appears in public, vows to spin off non-core businesses. Everything but x86 chip design and Foundry, then

              • Microsoft 365

            • Windows 365 Link is now available
            • The Office apps on Windows already launch instantaneously but apparently that's not invasive enough - we need fewer auto-start items, not more of them
            • Microsoft Excel to call out rich data cells with value tokens

              • AI & Dev

            • NYT copyright infringement lawsuit against Open AI and Microsoft can move forward, judge rules
            • And now Tim O'Reilly says Open AI stole his company's paywalled book content too. Book piracy is sadly the easiest thing in the world
            • Open AI raised more money than any private firm in history, now worth $300B
            • ChatGPT releases awesome new image generation feature for ChatGPT
            • And now it's available for free to everyone
            • Google's Gemini Pro 2.5 is now available to everyone too
            • Amazon launches Alexa+ in early access, US only

            • AMD pays $4.9 billion to take on Nvidia in cloud AI
            • Apple Intelligence + Apple Health is the future of something something

              • Xbox & Games

            • Nintendo announces Switch 2. Looks awesome, coming earlier than expected. But that price! And no Xbox/COD news at the launch??
            • Luna's not dead! Amazon announces multi-year EA partnership, expands Luna to more EU countries
