In-depth discussion of Microsoft's Creators Edition update / Surface Studio event. The Surface Studio is a new premium all-in-one PC aimed at creative professionals. Paired with the Surface Pen, and new Surface Dial, the Surface Studio folds down to become an easel and features the thinnest touchscreen available on a computer. Coming next Spring, the Windows 10 Creators Edition update will come with a new 3D-focused Microsoft Paint, Windows Capture 3D, and new 3D functionality in Office apps like PowerPoint.

• Mary Jo is at the event, and has her hands-on reaction.
• Guest Greg Sullivan, Director in Windows and Devices Group, Microsoft talks about Hololens, Creators Edition update, and running Windows apps in VR/AR.
• Leo, Paul, and Mary Jo all question whether Microsoft's focus on creators and 3D will pay off.

Microsoft is holding three events in the next three weeks: the October 26th event that might feature new Surface hardware, an Office event on November 2nd that might introduce Slack competitor Skype Teams, and Microsoft Connect () on November 16th. We now have a launch window for Redstone 2: March 2017. What's new with Outlook and Skype? What is the future of Cortana? Does Microsoft want to be just an enterprise company that also makes video games? Bill Belichick tosses his Surface - exactly how bad is the publicity Microsoft got from its NFL deal? Microsoft still needs EU approval for its LinkedIn merger.

• Is Microsoft going to make a "Cortana Cube" Amazon Echo / Google Home competitor? Mary Jo thinks not.
• Paul thinks Microsoft should stop holding all their events in New York City.

Microsoft is heading to NYC in late October. But is this a Windows event? A hardware event? Both? What we expect to see, and what we expect not to see. Does Microsoft even need Windows anymore? Of course. But for how long? What's the end game here? Leo's Surface Book got borked by the last Windows update. Microsoft issued a scripting fix. Yesterday was Microsoft's first big Patch Tuesday - what will it bork this time? So far, reports are good...
