RIP Internet Explorer, Oracle wants to Buy TikTok, Flight Simulator 2020

• A moment of silence, please...
• Microsoft outlines the plan to kill off Internet Explorer and Legacy Edge, at least from Microsoft 365.
• But there's still no actual end of life date for IE11... just lots of lead-ups to it

• Surface
• Mary Jo finally got 2004 on her Surface Laptop 3!
• Panos Panay joins the Sonos board of directors
• The press/blogger briefing for Surface Duo is now public
• Surface Duo after the dust settles: Has anyone come up with a good use case?

• This week in TikTok
• Now Oracle's joined the bidding
• Is Oracle in it to win it? Could they actually manage to host TikTok in their cloud? (Maybe. See Zoom.) Or are they in it to pressure Microsoft boost their offer?

• Microsoft 365
• The first Microsoft Teams Display is quite limited for now
• No new Dev Channel build of Windows 10 today (or likely this week) due to an unspecified bug Xbox

• Xbox is getting a new Dashboard ... everywhere
• There are some great games coming to Xbox Game Pass in the next two weeks
• There are now over 2000 indie games on Xbox
• Microsoft Flight Simulator is now available on PC

• Tip of the week: Can't get enough of MJF and Paul? (and who can't??) We recorded an episode of MJFChat that focuses on learning
• Enterprise pick of the week: Making Azure outage communications less terrible. Microsoft is trying.
• Codename pick of the week: Project Osaka. A blast from the MS codename past. Project Osaka, aka CollabDB, was supposed to be a list-sharing app for O365. MS killed it several years ago, but elements of it remain in the new M365 Lists app.
• Beer pick of the week: Westbrook Lemon Meringue Pie. In my ongoing series of beers made to taste like desserts, I offer you Lemon Meringue Pie. Lemon Meringue Pie is a sour from the excellent Westbrook Brewing. It does include vanilla, lemon, milk sugar, graham crackers and cinnamon and clocks in at a modest 4 percent. You can have your pie and drink it, too!
