Listen Later

Ahead of Microsoft Ignite 2025, Windows boss Pavan Davuluri tweeted an innocuous post about nothing, and all hell broke loose. We are broken as a community and it's time to cull the herd.

Ignite 2025

  • Fun aside: Google could have announced Gemini 3 at any time, but they chose the opening day of Ignite. Who's dancing now?
  • No Satya and suddenly the keynote is watchable again
  • Microsoft brings Anthropic models to Foundry along with Nvidia architecture
  • MCP comes to Windows 11 in public preview for developers
  • New Microsoft 365 Copilot agents for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
  • Agent 365 is the obvious name of an AI agent management service
  • Windows 11 is getting agents on the Taskbar because it isn't annoying enough already

    • Windows 11

    • Two new Release Preview builds, a new Canary build, and the first release of Copilot Actions
    • The RP builds are a preview of Patch Tuesday in December, it's bigger than expected

      • Mozilla announces AI window for Firefox, with immediate backlash

        • Xbox and gaming

        • Qualcomm JUST announced a new control panel for Snapdragon X gaming
        • Hands-on with the Xbox Full Screen Experience (FSE) for Windows 11
        • FSE Transforms a gaming handheld PC into a device-like experience
        • Frame rates see a dramatic jump in FSE Call of Duty, which was surprising
        • Fortnite is coming to the Xbox app in Windows, adding Xbox Play Anywhere support
        • Xbox announces a new set of titles coming to Game Pass across platforms
        • Xbox Partner Preview event is set for November 20
        • As predicted, Steam Machine is the "Xbox Microsoft wanted to make." Yes, it's a good idea now that someone else is doing it
