Summary

Enjoy Leo's many hats in this fun and silly edition of Windows Weekly. Happy Halloween!

Windows 11

Yes, Windows 11 version 24H2 got its preview update for October too, a few days late as expected
24H2 was a surprisingly big platform shift - no enablement updates - faster updates going forward
Dev and Beta get new builds, minor changes in each

Microsoft 365/AI/dev

Teams is... getting weird
Microsoft 365 apps get Handoff support on Apple devices
Notion Mail - a light alternatives to Google Workspace and M365?
GitHub Copilot goes multi-LLM
Apple Intelligence wave one arrives, mostly to indifference. Wave two in December. EU is getting it in the Spring
New Macs this week with M4. But the big news? 16 GB of RAM, minimum. Finally.
The Browser Company can't realize its vision for the future with Arc

Earnings/Corporate

Microsoft and Google duke it out over Cloud licensing - This one is getting ugly
Google - $88.3 billion in revenues
AMD - OK, but dominated by Intel on PCs and NVIDIA in AI/datacenter

Xbox

More games, more people, more devices, Microsoft says
Less emphasis on console but what might a next-gen console look like? Arm? Mobile? Third-party hardware makers?
Cloud Gaming is limited to the most expensive Game Pass tier - that has to change, and what about a standalone tier?
Mobile app stores are coming - but what about native mobile games?
Call of Duty Black Ops 6 lands on PC Game Pass, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and Cloud Gaming - Paul puts aside his grudge and gives it a shot
Microsoft previews new Home experience for Xbox app on Windows

Tips and Picks

Tip of the week: It might be time to look at the Raspberry Pi again
App pick of the week: My God, it's full of web browsers
RunAs Radio this week: Updating Windows on ARM with Aria Hanson
Brown liquor pick of the week: Laird of the Fintry Black Label Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky
