Windows Weekly 915: Magic Tricks for Cats

Listen Later

The first Patch Tuesday of 2025 brings temporary but sweet relief. There were no preview updates last month, so this month is just security/bug fixes. Plus, will Microsoft back down from its Windows 10 EOL line in the sand? It appears not. Finally, got New Year's resolutions? Paul's got a better idea. Maybe...

Windows

  • New Canary build with nothing in it
  • Microsoft will not support Office on Windows 10 after October EOL date
  • Microsoft is auto-installing the new Outlook in Windows 10 too - Don't let the door hit you on the way out
  • Parallels Desktop for Mac now supports running x86 Windows VMs. Very slowly

    • AI, Microsoft 365

    • New business models for AI emerge in 2025. Pay as you go vs. pay or no pay
    • Microsoft has shifted its business model strategy over two years
    • 15 months of Copilot in Windows: Madness
    • Microsoft announces pay-as-you-go AI agents
    • Google has a different (better) take with "the best of Google AI" in Workspace
    • What to expect: Price hikes on subscription services to pay for this AI
    • Massive reorg of Microsoft's engineering groups is all about AI - There are PM-level layoffs happening now all over Microsoft
    • OpenAI adds tasks in beta to ChatGPT
    • Microsoft Excel in Windows will soon support dark mode. Wait, what?

      • Hardware

      • Surface teases a big announcement on January 30
      • AMD surges on incredible new x86 chips and Intel's epic fail
      • Former Surface design lead Ralf Groene joins Panos at Amazon. Why?
      • Arm Holdings plans massive licensing price hikes. Everyone needs to settle the F down
      • There's a 16 GB Raspberry Pi 5 now. But at this price, a low-end NUC is the better choice for most

        • Dev

        • .NET 9.0.1 arrives - and with it, the fix for the app-crashing WPF/Windows 11 theming bug
        • Paul tried GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio. It is MAGIC

          • Xbox

          • Microsoft is clearly planning something big for gaming handhelds. Windows or Xbox? Or both?
          • Happy New Year, Xbox fans! Microsoft to bring more Xbox exclusives to PS, Switch
          • Xbox to host a Developer Direct event next week
          • Microsoft introduces new Xbox repair options
          • The Nintendo Switch 2 is leaking all over the place, and there were prototypes at CES

            • Tips and Picks

            • Tip of the week: Think about making micro changes each month or quarter instead of huge, sweeping changes once a year
            • App pick of the week: Start11 v2.5
            • RunAs Radio this week: DevOpsDocs with Mattias Karlsson
            • Brown liquor pick of the week: Buchanan's Deluxe 12
