Windows 10 version 1909 arrives

• Blink and you'll miss it because it's really just a small cumulative update, not a real feature update.
• 1909 is codenamed Vanadium and it appears to be going out broadly, contrary to Microsoft's description
• Windows 10 version 1909 review: There ain't much to say here
• Nothing major was removed or deprecated in 1909
• Is Microsoft going to repeat its cumulative update/R2 update pattern with 20H2? I am hearing no. But they won't say publicly
• Microsoft didn't fix feature updates. It just pretended that a small CU was a feature update.

More Windows 10

• Yes, Microsoft discussed the future of its Windows 10 app platform at Ignite
• Another major milestone: Windows 10 version 20H1 heads to the Slow ring.
• And Microsoft continues to release new 20H1 builds with absolutely no new features.

HoloLens 2

• Mary Jo and Paul both got to try out the new AR headset again. Here's what's new.

More Microsoft

• Microsoft will support CCPA everywhere
• Bye-bye MS Invoicing, Outlook Customer Manager and Skype Translator bot
• More goodbyes: Harry Shum is out as head of AI and Research. Kevin Scott is in

Xbox/games
