Dave and Glen discuss the open-sourcing of the VS Code Copilot mechanism. Other topics include:

• WSL2 Benefits: Open-source WSL2 speeds Linux subsystem evolution for Windows users.
• Copilot Plugin Impact: Open-sourcing Copilot plugin lowers barriers for AI code integration.
• Viewer Questions Intro: 17,000 comments filtered for Q&A with Dave and Glenn.
• Engine Shipping Story: Dave ships 1200hp engine to nephew in Canada for $3,600.
• Freight Cost Anecdote: FedEx freight costs reduced from $6,000 to $3,600 with discount.
• Windows 10 End of Support: Discussion on risks of staying on Windows 10 post-support.
• Windows 11 Naming: Debate on why Microsoft moved to Windows 11, not Windows 10 2025.
• Windows 10 Security Risks: Unpatched exploits could make Windows 10 risky post-support.
• Windows 12 Hardware: Windows 11 PCs likely compatible with Windows 12; TPM key factor.
• Windows 10 Extended Updates: Limited extended security updates; third-party patches unlikely.
• Windows 10 Paid Support: Microsoft offers paid extended support for Windows 10 briefly.
• TPM 2.0 for Windows 11: Mandatory TPM 2.0 for security; Linux skips it, less strict.
• External TPM Feasibility: USB/PCIe TPM modules unlikely to meet Windows 11 requirements.
• Windows 11 Privacy Concerns: Telemetry and bloat raise privacy issues; LTSC may help.
• Linux as Daily Driver: Viable for gaming/productivity if apps and games are supported.
• Linux for Windows Users: Mint recommended for its familiar, user-friendly desktop.
• Linux for Basic Tasks: Suitable for gaming/email if games are Linux-compatible.
• Windows 11 Account Needs: Microsoft account required; local account setup possible.
• AI Feature Integration: Microsoft sees AI as core, not optional, for Windows 11.
• Windows 11 UI Changes: Simplified UI reduces taskbar options, adds right-click steps.
• Forced Obsolescence Claims: Speculation on Microsoft pushing hardware sales via updates.
• E-Waste Concerns: Unsupported PCs can run Linux to avoid becoming e-waste.
• Windows 11 Bypasses: Registry hacks/Rufus may allow install on unsupported hardware.
• Office 365 on Windows 10: Should work, but Microsoft may limit support eventually.
• Windows 10 Pro vs. LTSC: LTSC offers leaner, long-term support; details unclear.
• Task Manager PIDs: Kernel assigns process IDs sequentially at process creation.
• NTFS Successor Need: NTFS suffices unless specific advanced features are required.
• Windows Search Issues: Slow on non-standard setups; third-party tools often faster.
• WinFS Revival: Metadata tagging on NTFS could achieve WinFS goals without complexity.
• Alternative File Systems: ZFS praised; Plan 9’s Fossil/Venti less known but innovative.
• Microsoft’s ARM Decisions: Inline assembly removal on ARM/X64 unclear; possibly for simplicity.
• Task Manager Drivers: No kernel mode driver needed; user APIs suffice for data.
• Historical Projects: Cairo’s OFS likely inspired WinFS; complexity often doomed initiatives.
• File System Metadata: NTFS alternate streams enable tagging; symbolic links suffice.
• AI Project Lists: Olama’s model page recommended for tracking major AI projects.
• Microsoft’s Open Source Shift: WSL2/Copilot moves aim to enhance Windows as Linux platform.
• Windows Registry Origins: Likely NT team’s design; full history merits separate episode.
• BeOS File System: BeOS’s database-like file system innovative but hardware-limited.
• Task Manager Performance: Modern Task Manager slower; old version still works.
• WinFS Hardware Limits: WinFS failed due to hardware constraints of its era.
• NTFS vs. FAT32: NTFS better for large files, journaling; FAT32 suits small files.
• Desktop Clutter Habits: Desktop clutter divisive; personal workflows vary widely.
• Start Menu Critique: Start Menu criticized for prioritizing irrelevant apps.
• Other OS File Systems: PIC OS, ext4 discussed; Microsoft resists ext4 on Windows.
• Microsoft’s Business Practices: Candy Crush reinstalls tied to revenue; search lags.

• Weirdest Microsoft Call: Cold calls from fake clients using stolen phone books.
