September 09Windows Weekly 1000: Ensheepified
With Microsoft shattering records for patched vulnerabilities and AI exposing even more bugs, Leo Laporte, Paul Thurrott, and Richard Campbell debate whether this tidal wave of fixes signals progress or just bigger trouble ahead for Windows users. Also, Sonos is back and here's something no one has been able to say for, well, forever: It's new app is great! Plus, Gemini's Daily Brief is surprisingly useful, and it's available for free to everyone in the U.S.
MICROSOFT MAKES MAJOR FINANCIAL REPORTING CHANGE
The canary in the coal mine has finally been rewarded: Microsoft will dramatically change how it reports earnings, effective immediately.

The good: Didn't see this coming, Microsoft will allegedly be transparent about Azure revenues every quarter

The bad: A simpler structure means more revenues are being hidden and you can only make accurate YOY comparisons dating back two years now

The unknown: What this will really look like in practice

How is it possible that Paul has been all over this for years and Wall Street has mostly ignored it?
Windows
Patch Tuesday arrives - And, yes, it's basically 26H2

New Start, Taskbar, and Windows Search are generally available

Is the "real" 26H2 still on track for October or does it just happen whenever?

Microsoft fixed almost 1000 security vulnerabilities this month (974), with 723 of them in Windows and 112 of them critical-severity. It has already released over double the number of security patches this year (2760) as it did in all of 2025 (1139).

Five new builds drop just ahead of Patch Tuesday updates with three minor new features
