July 02, 2025Windows Weekly 939: The House Hippo
Microsoft's latest round of layoffs hits Xbox Gaming hard as the company cuts approximately 9,000 jobs despite record profits. This week, Paul Thurrott and Richard Campbell discuss the impact of these layoffs, Windows 11's new version naming, Microsoft Copilot coming to Mac, and dive deep into passkey security.

LAYOFFS
As expected, Microsoft began a massive round of layoffs across Xbox/Microsoft Gaming on Wednesday.
The fiscal year started on Tuesday.

These were originally going to happen a week or two earlier.

9,000 employees impacted across Microsoft - about 4 percent of workforce, Xbox/MSGaming was NOT hit hardest, Microsoft now says (on top of 6,000 in May).

10 percent of King being laid off.

Carefully worded email from Phil Spencer requires some parsing.

It's Finally Official: 25H2 Is Next!
Microsoft finally admits that the Dev channel is testing Windows 11 version 25H2, which will arrive, as expected, around October
This news came as part of another set of commingled Dev and Beta channel builds.

25H2 will be delivered as an enablement package, so it's a minor release technically.

Dev and Beta are linked because 25H2 and 24H2 are linked: Each will get the same features, as started with 22H2/23H2 in late 2023.

Windows 11
Last week was Week D, but we didn't get preview updates per usual before WW
That finally happened last Thursday - new preview updates for 24H2 and 23H2/22H2

24H2: Click to Do improvements, start of PC migration in Windows Backup, small icons in Taskbar, more.

Windows Insider Preview: Those Dev/Beta builds noted above have the first implementation of third-party passkey. Microsoft Edge 138 is a pretty big update, with AI-enhanced history search and Copilot integration into the search box and new tab page.
AI
Microsoft 365 Copilot is available on the Mac.

Apple may cave and adopt Anthropic Claude and/or OpenAI ChatGPT for Apple Intelligence.

After Coda's acquisition and $1 billion in funding, Grammarly acquires Superhuman to build an "AI-native" productivity suite that will take on Big Tech (Microsoft, Google) and Little Tech (Notion, Proton) alike.
Xbox and Gaming
Xbox 360 dashboard is getting its first update in years.

Halo Studios teases an October tease of the next Halo from the studio.

New Game Pass titles for the first half of July - plus, COD: WWII turns up in Game Pass for the first time.

Cursor sort of comes to the web and mobile - like Adobe Firefly on mobile, but for devs when "the mood strikes".
Tips and Picks
Tip/App picks of the week: Cure Mac envy.
The Mac is about to get even prettier. But Windows 11 can rise to this challenge.
The PC matters: Paul recommends Surface Laptop 7 as a MacBook Air alternative.
Software? It's all free.
Full screen apps: Hide the Taskbar and touchpad gestures - also, use DS Clock if you need to see the time.

Transparent system menu? You can make the Taskbar transparent too.

Want Spotlight? No problem, we have Command Palette (an updated, more extensible PowerToys Run) in PowerToys.

Bonus app pick: Inoreader for RSS feeds (and read later if you want).

Brown Liquor Pick of the Week: Alberta Distillers 23 Year Old Rare Batch No. 1
