WW 538: Digitally Entitled




Windows Weekly (Video LO) show

Summary: <p>Windows 10 version 1709 is complete. (a.k.a. the Fall Creators Update or Redstone 3, its names are legion.)<br>Related: Microsoft holds a mixed-up mixed reality briefing with no real news.Microsoft buys AltSpaceVR. Why? And who are they? <br>Related: The Windows 10 Photos app was just updated with a surprisingly good video editor. This is great news for people pining over Windows Movie Maker. <br>Related: 70 extensions for Edge after one year. Is that good or bad? <br> <br>Looking ahead to Redstone 4: a new build with just a minor new visual change. When will this beta spin up? What can we expect? <br> <br>Microsoft shutters Groove Music Pass and points customers to Spotify. Also: Store will no longer sell music either. But why not Movies &amp; TV Shows too? And ebooks? (Paul has a theory) Gnashing of teeth in the Microsoft community, but no one actually used this service.<br>Related: Some industry watchers and OEMs predicting Surface line will be next on chopping block. (Nadella recently denied this, FWIW.)<br> <br>Mobile: Microsoft is listening to feedback and is fixing Skype, starting on iOS. <br> <br>Xbox: Cuphead ships and it's awesome. But it's also too hard for most people. Forza Motorsport 7 is a visual showcase, even on Xbox One S. Store is being rebranded as Microsoft Store on Xbox too.</p><p>• Tip of the week: Download your purchased Groove music NOW!<br>• App pick of the week: Paint.NET is in the Store.<br>• Enterprise pick of the week: Azure Data Box<br>• Codename pick of the week: AndromedaOS <br>• Beer pick of the week: Cigar City Good Gourd </p> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/leo-laporte">Leo Laporte</a>, <a href="https://twit.tv/people/mary-jo-foley">Mary Jo Foley</a>, and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/paul-thurrott">Paul Thurrott</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/windows-weekly">https://twit.tv/shows/windows-weekly</a></p><p>Check out Paul's blog at <a href="https://www.thurrott.com/" target="_blank">thurrott.com</a></p><p>Check out Mary Jo's blog at <a href="http://allaboutmicrosoft.com/" target="_blank">AllAboutMicrosoft.com</a></p><p>Thanks to <a href="https://www.cachefly.com/" target="_blank">CacheFly</a> for the bandwidth for this show.</p><p>The Windows Weekly theme music is courtesy of <a href="https://twitter.com/carlfranklin" target="_blank">Carl Franklin</a>.</p>
