  • Leo and the Duo
  • One week in (almost), what's his take on the Surface Duo?
  • MJF's review: Nice hardware, confusing software
  • Overall, the reviews are very negative.

    • The TikTok clock has stopped for Microsoft
  • A bullet dodged
  • Good luck, Oracle
  • This is the last time we ever talk about this. LET'S HOPE!

    • Windows 10: Where are we now?
  • Windows 10 20H2 should be released any day now
  • Windows 10 build 20215 (Dev) hit today with one new feature
  • When will testers start getting 10X builds, given it's expected to debut in spring 2021? Will they get 10X builds?
  • Plus... Microsoft is working to make update blocker messages better
  • Your Phone's App feature is on more Samsung phones .. But not Surface Duo

    • Subscription bundles: The future?
  • Apple launched several AppleOne service bundles yesterday (all for consumers)
  • But don't forget the antitrust concerns!
  • Microsoft has a lot of work and home subscription bundles, too, but so far, no crossover bundles.

    • Xbox

    • Tip of the week: Change your browser, email app defaults on iOS to Microsoft apps. The latest beta versions of Microsoft Edge and Microsoft Outlook now work with iOS 14.
  • App pick of the week: Visual Studio Code. Visual Studio Code has emerged as the go-to developer editor on all platforms, including Linux. Part of the appeal is its extensibility. This week, Microsoft shipped its C++ extension.
