August 07, 2024Windows Weekly 893: The WordStar Look
It's the last Windows Weekly in the TWiT Eastside Studio! The Week D mystery continues in this episode. And Windows Insider has had a relatively quiet week. Intel is in trouble, with stock price dropping over 25 percent! WordStar is back, but the big news here is the documentation archive. Also, Paul thinks the improved Reader mode in Firefox 129 is pretty sweet.
Windows 11
Last week, Microsoft issued Week D update for 22H2/23H2 late

Last week, Microsoft issued 24H2 build to the Release Preview channel but nothing for Week D. Paul speculated this would replace the Weed D update, head to stable in August

Since then, Microsoft quietly issued Week D update for 24H2 one week late (on last day of July)

Speculation was correct: These are all the same thing, with the same new features, most CFRs

Microsoft's release schedule gets even more chaotic. It's been missing the Week D Tuesday release schedule more often than not in recent months

BIG update to the Microsoft Store in Canary and Dev today
Hardware
Snapdragon X is a huge leap forward for the PC, but Apple/MacBook Air still have big advantages

AMD's new chips are getting rave reviews

Surface Laptop 7, Surface Pro 11 for Business available for preorder
Microsoft 365
The new Outlook is now generally available and the Microsoft community celebrates in the streets
Antitrust/Corporate
Google found guilty of abusing its Search monopoly

Big point: Google's revenue share deals with Apple, etc. Could this kill Mozilla?

Microsoft and Bing come up over 500 times (!) in the ruling. Obsessed much?

Apple would like to have its antitrust case dismissed. Good luck with that

Context: The paradox of antitrust

Thanks to Manifest V3, ad- and tracker- blocking in Chrome is going to get less effective

Microsoft: We are STILL serious about security. No, really

Arm revenues up 39 percent to $939 million

Qualcomm up 11 precent to $9.4 billion

Apple up 4.9 percent to 85.8 billion in revenues

Amazon up 10 percent to $148 billion

July 31, 2024Windows Weekly 892: Capacious Chyrons
On this episode of Windows Weekly, the show has a new yet similar look (as Leo tries to read chyrons that may be a tad tiny). Microsoft announces its quarterly (and annual) financial results. They're doing OK. The company also expands on what it has done and will do, with Windows security in the wake of the CrowdStrike outage. Finally, Paul advises that the password manager in a browser isn't enough, as secure users need more capabilities like 2FA code generation, dark web monitoring, passkey storage, and more.
Earnings
Microsoft announces its quarterly (and annual) financial results. They're doing OK.

Microsoft's FY24: a net income of $88.1 billion on revenues of $245.1 billion, up 22 percent and 16 percent

Windows - Barely mentioned, another solid $10 billion+ in revenues, no gain from Copilot+ PC

Office - Solid growth, mostly commercial

Surface - Flush twice, it's a long way to New Mexico

Xbox - Problematic, propped up mostly by Activision, but there are huge costs there too

AI - Huge investments, Microsoft can afford it. $19 billion (!) in infrastructure costs in this quarter, and it's going up next year ... when/how does AI pay off?

Microsoft to give employees a one-time cash award on top of bonuses

TikTok was paying Microsoft $20 million per month through at least March for OpenAI on Azure, close to 25 percent of Microsoft's total revenues for that business

AMD revenues - the next NVIDIA?
Windows
Windows 11 versions 22H2/23H2 get theirs a few days late, features we saw in Release Preview a few weeks ago

Nothing for 24H2, but a new Release Preview build is almost certainly its equivalent, meaning we'll see these features in stable in August

All channels: Support for Android file system navigation in File Explorer

Beta channel (last week): Widgets is about to get third party feeds

It's not a dud, but the HP EliteBook Ultra doesn't measure up

X (Twitter) is using your posts to train Grok (its AI). You can disable it. But these names all suck
