Windows Weekly (Audio) episodes

April 10, 2024WW 876: Solder On - Snapdragon X Elite impressions, KB5036893 update, CHIPS & Science Act
On this episode, Paul shares his thoughts on the Snapdragon X Elite chip with Leo and Richard. Windows 11 24H2, AI, NPUs, and SoCs from Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm are all on the way this year. But a schedule is finally starting to emerge. And it looks like we'll soon have answers to the questions about how or why AI will matter on PCs.
Windows, AI, and the future
Windows 11 version 24H2 - staggered release schedule as discussed last week

IDC says PC market grew by 1.5 percent in Q1 and acts like it's the turnaround of the century

March 27, 2024WW 874: Dark Satya - Moment 5, Surface Pro 10 & Laptop 6
On Windows Weekly, Moment 5 has arrived as a Preview Update, Windows 10 gets a preview update, and Microsoft announces the Surface Pro 10 & Surface Laptop 6 for Business at a digital event. Designer and Copilot are coming to the Microsoft 365 mobile app. Would Microsoft develop a Windows-based gaming handheld device? And Canva acquires Affinity.
Windows
Moment 5 arrives as a Preview Update right on schedule - it's Week D, etc.

Microsoft previously described this schedule in its DMA compliance documentation, and noted that it would be fully deployed in stable by the end of April.

Quick raise of hands: Did you think this was already available? You're not alone. But ... you know. Microsoft.

Oh, and there's a preview update for Windows 10 too. Because come on Microsoft.

Don't worry, that lock screen nonsense in Windows 10 is coming to Windows 11 too.

Qualcomm claims that most Windows games will "just work" on its X Elite processor. How?

Chromium accepts Microsoft commit that will improve Chrome/Chromium text rendering on Windows.

Google Chrome comes to Windows on Arm, instantly legitimatizing the platform.
Surface
Microsoft announces Surface Pro 10, Surface Laptop 6.

For businesses, only - Intel Core Ultra-based.

Consumer versions based on X Elite to follow in May, according to reliable rumors.

It's first "AI PCs," supposedly. But now we know why they are using that terminology, and it's stupid. (Related, Intel has its own definitions for what makes a PC an AI PC.)

This was billed as an AI event, "the new era of work," but there was NO news for Windows or Copilot. None.

Why is that? One word: Momentum.
AI
In the wake of Microsoft AI reorg (a NeXT-style takeover), a key Microsoft exec says no and steps aside, will likely leave the company

Microsoft Teams is gaining new AI capabilities because, duh, of course it is

Designer and Copilot are coming to the Microsoft 365 mobile app - Two more checkmarks for that grid of Copilot capabilities

Our developer show schedule is complete: Apple to host WWDC 2024 in June, following Google I/O and Build in May

Samsung spreads Galaxy A1 to more devices starting tomorrow in the US
Xbox
It's finally happening: Diablo IV will be the first Activision Blizzard game on Xbox Game Pass when it goes live tomorrow.

Phil Spencer says Windows is wrong for gaming handhelds, thinks an Xbox would be better.

Xbox is testing mouse and keyboard support for Cloud Gaming.

March 20, 2024WW 873: Amino Man! - Microsoft AI's leadership, Azure's free egress, Office 2024
On this episode, Paul, Richard, and Mikah talk AI developments, Windows 10 (yes, 10), Azure egress, and even VR gaming! Is the new Microsoft AI organization an "acquisition" in disguise? How did NVIDIA's recent GTC keynote go? Plus, why it makes sense for Apple to partner with Google for Gemini on iPhone.
AI Reorg
Microsoft has created a new Microsoft AI "organization" that reports directly to Satya Nadella

Led by former Inflection co-founders and staffed in part by several ex-Inflection employees

Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott, who orchestrated Microsoft's OpenAI partnership, will continue forward in his other role as executive vice president of AI and will remain responsible for Microsoft's overall AI strategy

Mikhail Parakhin and the entire team responsible for Copilot, Bing, and Edge, plus Misha Bilenko and the GenAI team, will move into Microsoft AI.

Rajesh Jha will continue as executive vice president of Experiences & Devices and will "partner closely with Mustafa and team" on Copilot for Microsoft 365.

What does this mean for Windows? (Paul's guess: Not much. Windows is still presumably under Jha)
Windows
Windows 10 (Yes, 10, not 11) is getting new Sports, Traffic, and Finance cards on the lock screen for some reason

No new Insider builds since last week! WHAAAAAT?
Microsoft 365

AI for you! Microsoft 365 web apps now support Copilot Pro users

Better AI for you! Free Copilot gets ChatGPT-4 Turbo (previously a paid feature)

Microsoft follows Google and AWS, ends Azure egress fees - the other European Big Tech battleground
AI
Apple is almost certainly going to (try to) partner with Google on AI for iPhone

How the F is Microsoft not part of this?

Google I/O is set for May 14, Apple WWDC will be in June, both to focus on AI (duh)

Microsoft to host "AI and Surface event" right before Build 2024 in May

Nvidia is determined to not just ride the AI wave, but win it

In the wake of a subtle rebranding, Google is bringing generative AI to Fitbit

Amazon is bringing generative AI for product pages to sellers
Xbox
New games across Game Pass for the second half of March - including, for the first time, an Activision Blizzard title, Diablo IV

Microsoft is killing the Microsoft Rewards app on Xbox... though there is a Rewards tab on your Profile page.

LinkedIn is experimenting with games because everything has to suck now

Sony halts PSVR2 production because no one wants to pay $550 for VR on PS5

March 06, 2024WW 871: Ash Happens - Windows 11 Moment 5, DirectSR API, LibreOffice Writer
This week, Paul, Richard, and Leo unpack the twice-delayed unveiling of Moment 5 for Windows 11 and the long list of small features it brings to users, alongside whispers of new Surface devices on the horizon.

It was going to be about Activision Blizzard originally (nailed it)

All first-party games will be in Game Pass on day one (as is the case now)

Game Pass will only be on Xbox (whatever "Xbox" means as it's on PC too)

The strategy is unchanged: Meet gamers where they are

But the best experience is on Xbox (this is like going from "Windows only" to "Windows first" to "Windows best")

Portability across hardware platforms is a key part of the strategy - Backward Compatibility, etc.

A future generation of Xbox console hardware will offer "the largest technical leap you have ever seen in a hardware generation."

Oh, and four games are coming to "other consoles."
Windows 11
