Windows 12 is stalled and the real reasons go far beyond software. The conversation unpacks how soaring hardware prices, AI chaos, and market confusion have Microsoft in a holding pattern. Also, Paul finally took a sledgehammer to the subscription services he pays for, and more is on the way. Plus, one of Paul's favorite Markdown editors supports authorship on Windows now and an integrated Search/Outline view on Mac, iPad, and iPad.Windows Week D is here with a preview of July's Patch Tuesday Point-in-time restore is now generally available in Windows 11, sort of Quieter widgets, which is nice!

Mostly minor fit-and-finish improvements So... what about Windows 12? The history is interesting, and Copilot+ PC was what Paul originally thought Windows 12 would be. But now we're talking agentic capabilities that will handle local/cloud/hybrid orchestration per last week's discussion, and maybe that will be it. We knew that Surface Laptop and Surface Pro would come in 8 GB configurations. But they're available now with just 256 GB of storage and the prices are $950 and $850 and up, respectively. Plus all the usual Surface limitations, like one color choice. (16 GB is $1150 and $1050, respectively, so $300 more.) Once again, it's time to just get a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5x for $850. It has 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage and is awesome. Tim Cook just admitted that Apple will raise hardware prices because of the component crisis. If this is hitting Apple hard, the rest of the industry is screwed.

It gave $10 billion to OpenAI so that it could spend $10 billion on Azure.

Tim Cook signals that the company will likely raise its prices down the road due to the memory chip shortage. Apple's AirPods Pro 3 heart rate sensor is almost as accurate as the one in the Apple Watch. Still waiting to gain access to Siri AI? There's a shortcut to bypass it. And Apple's App Store is logging more data from you than most initially thought, per some security researchers. Apple to raise prices due to memory chip crunch, Tim Cook says. We did the math on why the iPhone 18 Pro could cost $1,299. Why Apple's war chest can't win the memory war. Apple's WebKit performance tax leaves iOS browsers stuck in the slow lane, says Microsoft. Trump says Apple will build chips with Intel in the US. AirPods Pro 3 heart rate sensor nearly matches Apple Watch in accuracy test. iOS 27 Beta 2 adds inline replies to iPhone-to-Android RCS chats.
