Summary: <ul> <li>Microsoft's 'Fall Event' on October 2: What to expect. This event is all about Microsoft's 'Modern Life Services' stuff, plus a Surface headset also is rumored, and there will be some refreshed Surfaces.</li> <li>Microsoft revamps its Windows as a Service strategy. Again. The good news for IT pros: You potentially can apply Windows 10 feature updates every other year. The bad news: The twice-yearly feature update pace will continue. And Home users remain testing guinea pigs.</li> <li>Meanwhile, in Windows 7 land... Microsoft is going to provide (again) a way to keep getting Windows 7 security updates. For a big fee.</li> <li>New Redstone 5 build actually has a new feature, sort of - actually, I'm confused about this feature.</li> <li>SMS/MMS integration comes to Your Phone. Related: Skype is getting SMS Connect too.</li> <li>Chromebooks will soon connect natively to Windows PCs on a home network</li> <li>Alexa support is coming to the Xbox One</li> </ul><p>Tips and picks</p><ul> <li>Tip of the week: Xbox One S with two controllers bundle</li> <li>App pick of the week: Microsoft To-Do</li> <li>Enterprise pick of the week: Azure DevOps</li> <li>Codename pick of the week: Kusto</li> <li>Beer pick of the week: Boulevard Brewing Tank 7</li> </ul><p>Events</p><ul><li>Windows Weekly will be live at Ignite on Tuesday, Sept. 25 from 2-4 pm ET.
