WW 623: Paul Does Math




Windows Weekly (Video LO) show

Summary: <p>This Week's Stories</p><ul> <li>Modern OS: It's the future of Windows, vaguely. In a boring blog post about new PCs, Microsoft suddenly---if vaguely---starts discussing something called Modern OS. And it is not Windows 10. Or is it?</li> <li>Related: PCs continue evolving despite the down market, and I like what they've become. Plus, Lenovo, the world's biggest PC maker, is somehow experiencing big PC sales growth.</li> <li>Dell tips something called Windows 10 Home Ultra. This is almost certainly the new name for Windows 10 Home Advanced, which Thurrott.com revealed a year ago. But Microsoft says "Ultra" does not exist.</li> <li>Windows 10 version 1903 ekes out into the world, slowly.</li> <li>Much ado about nothing with new Microsoft Edge, again</li> <li>Microsoft celebrates 10 years of Bing.

When did Bing finally turn a profit? 2015</li> <li>Microsoft is making a Pro IntelliMouse for some reason.</li> <li>There's a purple Xbox One S on the way!</li> <li>New messaging experience comes to Xbox app</li> <li>Related: PS Now is the biggest game streaming service today</li> </ul><p>Tips and picks</p><ul> <li>Tip of the week: Configure Paste Options in OneNote for Windows 10</li> <li>App pick of the week: Use your iPhone camera to turn a photo of table data into a spreadsheet</li> <li>Enterprise pick of the week: Admins deploying 1903: Check this box</li> <li>Codename pick of the week: Kumo</li> <li>Beer pick of the week: Edmund's Oast Brewing Company Fountain Drink</li> </ul><p>NEXT WEEK: We will be in Amsterdam!
