 WW 543: This War Ain't Gonna Win Itself | File Type: video/mp4 | Duration: 2:06:08

Xbox One X is a game changer, literally, the first true 4K video game console. Reviews are overwhelmingly positive. This is the kind of press---and lines at their stores---that Microsoft never gets. How to decide: Should you get an Xbox One X? Phil Spencer says MS is going to invest even more in first party games (and that MS may try again to do an Azure-powered streaming service.) If at first you don't succeed (with Arcadia), try, try again? Intel is teaming up with AMD for high-end portable PCs - Why? Broadcom wants to purchase Qualcomm for $100+ billion (!) - Why? Analysis: These two deals are great examples of how the future of the PC industry is being shaped - Intel, etc focused on performance, ARM focused on mobility. Intel and Windows will always win at the former, but the latter will be split between many platforms. Microsoft ships Windows 10 IoT Fall Creators Update.Win 10 Enterprise users will be able to integrate 3rd p. Security services w. Win 10 Defender ATP.

 WW 535: You Should've Named Him Cuphead | File Type: video/mp4 | Duration: 1:55:45

The day after Apple's not-so-compelling iPhone 8 and X announcements, let's talk mobile for the Windows gal/guy. Paul Thurrott is going Android (!) after years on iPhone. Mary Jo Foley is all-in on Android. Is there any hope for a future Windows Mobile platform? Yes (Paul: no), but it might not be for you.

Andromeda revisited: This is not just hardware, but software too.Windows 10: Another day, another new Insider build (and this is still NOT RTM, MS says!) Also, another Skip Ahead build.

 WW 534: Hedgehogs Prohibited | File Type: video/mp4 | Duration: 2:03:48

Fall Surface reveal: Looks like London may be the place. Panos will pump it up at Future Decoded in late October. What are we anticipating? Surface Pro LTE, Surface Book 2 (or 3?). Andromeda: not yet. Microsoft extends its Windows 10 S to Pro upgrade offer. As part of an announcement about expanded Surface Laptop availability, Microsoft also revealed that it is extending the Windows 10 S-to-Pro upgrade offer by three months. Why now? And what does this say about Windows 10 S? Semi-related: Some Surface mini marketing materials leak, but there's no new info.It's official: The Windows 10 Fall Creators Update arrives October 17.

 WW 533: Sumo in a Sidecar | File Type: video/mp4 | Duration: 1:43:22

Well, look at that. Microsoft does have a Cortana strategy. The partnership will put Alexa on Cortana, Cortana on Alexa was initiated by Jeff Bezos over a year ago. What does this mean to Cortana, really, given its also-ran status? Is Cortana just another Alexa skill? And is Cortana on Windows 10 just another way to access Alexa? Related thought: We often describe Cortana's failure as a byproduct of Microsoft's mobile failures, but Amazon failed in mobile too. And remember: Amazon and Microsoft are the weakest among the 4 voice assistant vendors, in terms of total reach. Controversy of the week: NYPD dumps "useless" Windows phones. First, NY Post writes a scathing and accurate article about NYPD's terrible Windows phone adoption decision. Next, the person responsible for this decision writes a rebuttal. But here's the thing. The real reason they adopted WP was that the phones were free, as were the replacement phones they would get after two years. Who subsidized that little deal? Build(s) of the week: Windows 10. Two Inside Preview builds since the last show, 16275 and 16278 (or, three in one week). No more new features. Focus on ship-quality quality, stability. Windows Mixed Reality comes into focus for the holidays. Here's a nice workaround for getting Photoshop Elements 15 to work on Windows 10 S. Creators Update hits two-thirds of all Windows 10 PCs, but it's still lagging behind the Anniversary Update. Awesomeness of the week: Xbox One X. Microsoft's 4K console is off to a fast start. Microsoft confirms that the Xbox One X is the "fastest ever" Xbox for preorders. Tip of the week: Save Big on Groove Music Pass App pick of the week: ReCore Definitive Edition for Windows 10/Xbox One Enterprise pick of the week: Microsoft Unified Support Codename pick of the week: How to think about feature updates and Windows Server Beer pick of the week: x Hosts: Leo Laporte, Mary Jo Foley, and Paul Thurrott Download or subscribe to this show at https://twit.tv/shows/windows-weeklyCheck out Paul's blog at thurrott.comCheck out Mary Jo's blog at AllAboutMicrosoft.comThanks to CacheFly for the bandwidth for this show.The Windows Weekly theme music is courtesy of Carl Franklin.

 WW 532: The Foley SKU | File Type: video/mp4 | Duration: 2:10:11

Google Enterprise is all about bringing business-level management to Chromebooks. So maybe Microsoft wasn't so crazy thinking Windows 10 S might appeal to business users. New Windows 10 Fall Creators Insider build just released today - no new features. Related: Windows 10 S finally heads to Insiders. New Windows Server 2016 1709 build – the 3rd Insider preview for Server – also is out. No new features. Xbox One X pre-orders and other Gamescom news.

 WW 531: B is for Broadwell | File Type: video/mp4 | Duration: 2:37:01

What did Microsoft know about problems with its Surface devices and when did officials know it? PT has seen a leaked memo and has the scoop - And some follow-up context. Even if Consumer Reports' methodology is questionable and MS has turned the corner, can Microsoft recover from being dinged? What does this incident mean for next-generation Surface-branded devices? For MS' relationship with Intel? Microsoft adds Windows 10 S support to new Surface Pro. NFL expands usage of Surface (Pro 4). Microsoft is changing Windows 10 to meet all of Kaspersky's demands Windows 10 Pro for Workstations is a thing. So now there are almost ten (or more, depending on how you count) different editions of Win 10. Three new SKUs this year alone: Windows 10 S, Windows 10 Business and now this. Windows 10 S: Yea or Nay? Brad: It's almost ready. Paul: Almost ready means "not ready." Intel's 8th generation Core processor reveal is August 21. Devices coming this holiday. .NET Core 2.0 is out.
