F23Q2 analysis, the subscription future, Microsoft 365 Insider program Microsoft announced a net income of $16.4 billion on revenues of $52.7 billion for the quarter ending December 31.

Since then, we've seen the unexpected, largely (or completely) untested rollout of three new features: Search "pill," Task Manager access from the Taskbar, and now a new OneDrive. Each has inconsistently rolled out to different PCs. One has a regression. One was actually tested with the Insider Program. And one wasn't tested at all. Don't like Windows 11? Please, let the designers explain it One Outlook (Project Monarch) arrives, sort of, changes nothing Loop doesn't arrive, changes nothing .NET MAUI lands. Is it the future? Or just "a" future? Project Voltera looks cool, but Arm is still down the road DuckDuckGo colluded with Microsoft, then didn't Alex Kipman was just trying to be like Bill Gates! GitHub CoPilot: friend or foe? PC sales fell off a cliff. That cliff is about to get higher. Deeper. Whatever Joe B leaves.
