Windows Weekly 889: Works Best With Netscape

Listen Later

In this episode, Paul seems to be sitting in a familiar room! Could this be a sign that a game-changing enhancement to Notepad is rolling out? That's not all, as OneDrive seems to be undergoing some behavioral changes in a positive direction. After 3 weeks since the Copilot+ PC launch (2 weeks since Paul got his 1st model), the future of Intel and x86 may not be as dire as some think. Plus, Affinity announced that its award-winning Photo, Designer, and Publisher apps are now free for 6 months with no obligation to buy!

The Morning After

  • The end of Intel and the x86 era? You guys are cute
  • Comparing the HP, Lenovo, and Microsoft entries: A few differentiators, but these things are very, very similar. There's a reason why
  • IDC throws cold water on the AI PC/Copilot+ PC parade
  • We still need official Windows 11 on Arm ISOs, Microsoft. Until then, there are workarounds.

    • Windows 11

    • GAME CHANGER: Notepad FINALLY supports spell-checking and auto-correct!
    • ACTUAL GAME CHANGER: Microsoft is apparently stepping back some of the OneDrive terribleness in Windows 11 version 24H2
    • Patch Tuesday: BIG deal for Windows 11 22H2, 23H2 with 24H2 features
    • Nothing to speak of for 24H2, as predicted - just security updates
    • It's nice when things happen as expected for a change
    • Canary: Lock screen widget changes
    • Paul put the Windows 11 Field Guide on a diet - and then the other books too
    • PDF went from 377 MB to 107 MB, EPUB went from 344 MB to just 86 MB (!)
    • Similar gains for Windows Everywhere, Windows 10 Field Guide
    • Updated the Win10 add-in that comes with the Windows 11 Field Guide too
