ARM for Windows is here in the form of the Snapdragon Copilot+ PCs - how do you update them? Richard talks with Aria Hanson about how Windows Updates treat ARM like just another Windows device - all the updates! Aria talks about the transition time with Windows 24H2 update, which has some specific Copilot+ PC features. But when looking at ARM-based Windows devices, don't just focus on the Copilot part; check out the great battery life and the simpler architecture that should lead to long-life machines. The conversation also digs into the Windows Insider program, which now has four channels for updates, in order of likelihood to blue screen: Canary, Dev, Beta, and Release Preview.LinksWindows InsidersCopilot+ PCsWindows Insider BlogWindows AutopatchWindows AutopilotPlutonRecorded September 18, 2024
Generative AI is currently facing a downturn, with Gartner placing it at the peak of inflated expectations and urging organizations to assess ROI and maturity before deployment. The hype cycle identifies four emerging technology themes, including autonomous AI, total experience, and human-centric security. Despite projections of generative AI accounting for over 40% of the total AI industry market size by 2030, concerns about profitability due to high development costs remain. However, RBC analysts anticipate that revenue from AI-powered software could still increase, potentially offsetting lower profit margins.Microsoft issues warnings to partners regarding API migration deadlines and the implementation of multi-factor authentication for Azure customers. The company also updates its services agreement, emphasizing that AI services are not substitutes for professional advice and outlining data extraction restrictions. Additionally, Microsoft announces the return of the Windows Recall AI feature in October for Windows Insider users after addressing security concerns. The feature, which captures screenshots at short intervals, will prioritize security as a top priority.Consulting firms are facing a dilemma with Gen Z consultants viewing consulting as a temporary stepping stone rather than a long-term career due to high-pressure work environments and a desire for more meaningful engagement. The shift in focus from benefits to work-life balance reflects a broader trend among this generation prioritizing personal passion in their careers. Meanwhile, major tech companies are making significant capital investments in AI infrastructure, potentially leading to an overbuilding trend. While the risk of overbuilding is acknowledged, companies prioritize avoiding underinvestment, with concentrated investments among a few major players mitigating some risks.The Apple Vision Pro, after six months, is primarily seen as a VR headset with limited AR capabilities, excelling in entertainment but facing drawbacks such as weight, comfort, and high price. Developer investment remains low, and widespread adoption remains uncertain, despite influencing competitors to reconsider their strategies. The episode also highlights the importance of building career paths in consulting and the challenges faced by head-mounted devices in becoming mainstream. Overall, the episode delves into the current state of generative AI, Microsoft's updates and warnings, consulting industry trends, and the impact of major tech companies' investments in AI infrastructure.

Windows 11 A quick look back at the Copilot+ PC launch Paul did end up making a video of each MacBook Air reference during last week's launch The Copilot+ PC event was also notable for its many references to the past: Paul counted at least 7 in the first 7 minutes alone After some soul-searching, Paul went all-in on Surface Laptop by canceling the first preorder and bulking it up with more RAM and storage Release Preview (last week): 24H2 comes to RP, suggesting it hits stable on Tuesday, June 11 (in preview), one week before the first Copilot+ PCs arrive with this build preinstalled Beta (last week): 23H2 build with no new features (arriving after 24H2 in Release Preview, of course) Microsoft Edge is getting more responsive thanks to a "WebUI 2.0" initiative Lenovo earnings up 9 percent in quarter, down 8 percent for the year.

Press hold on all the obvious jokes, this impacted Copilot everywhere, DuckDuckGo, other services Cue the Chicken Little "this is why I'll never use AI" crowd, which used to be the "this is why I'll never use the cloud" crowd Copilot comes to Telegram for some reason Google goes live with AI overviews in Search and the world grinds to a halt Google adds Gemini to Chromebook Plus, gives one free year of Google One AI Premium to new device buyers WWDC is coming soon and we're seeing hints of how Apple will add more AI to its products Opera partners with Google Cloud on Gemini in Aria AI and image understanding/image generation in browser And it now plans to make 2000 SLMs available in the browser NVIDIA revenues were a record in Q1, up 262 percent YOY Dev Last week, we learned that WPF is making a comeback.

On this episode, Leo, Paul, and Richard discuss the big release of Windows 11 23H2, productivity in Macs vs PCs, Microsoft 365 Copilot arriving, changes in the Xbox and marketing divisions, iFixit support for Surface repair, and American rye whiskeys. 23H2 Surprise! Microsoft delivers the Windows 11 23H2 Update, which upgrades your Windows 11 version 22H2-based PC to version 23H2, much sooner than expected. Technically, Microsoft NEVER delivered the so-called "Fall Update," since it was only made available in preview form (twice, for some reason). So 23H2 is actually the first public release of those 150+ new features. The Windows 11 Media Creation Tool still installs 22H2. Because Microsoft. Workaround: Use the Windows 11 Installation Assistant. Which hilariously requires you to install the PC Health Check app. We need to discuss Microsoft Teams in Windows 11. And then literally never discuss it again. Microsoft is killing the Windows Insider MVP program. What exactly did it even mean to be an "MVP" in the Insider program? Dev: From last Friday, adds one new feature, a "Recently added" folder (for apps) in Start (in Recommended) Beta, from last Thursday: Two new features (gradual rollout): System components in Settings, Game Bar rebranding. Plus fixes. Windows 11 now has 26 percent usage share vs. 69 percent for Windows 10. Whatever happened to Windows 12? There have been overt clues about Windows 12 literally all year, including as recently as last week. But Microsoft has never, not once, uttered this phrase. What's happening? Microsoft 365/AI Today's the day: Microsoft 365 Copilot arrives for commercial customers on E3 or higher. OG Teams is retiring in March. Microsoft Word turned 40 last week. This was the gateway drug that lured Paul into the Microsoft ecosystem. But it's showing it's age. If Microsoft can't get spell- and grammar-checking right in Word, why will AI work? Earnings Learnings Did Azure just make more money than AWS?? Intel stumbles but finally sees an end to the PC sales slide. Surface iFixit now sells Surface replacement parts. And it is fascinating to see how much more you can replace/repair in newer models compared to the first "repairable" Surface, Surface Pro 7. Xbox Microsoft reorgs Xbox in the wake of Activision Blizzard acquisition. Chris Capossela is Leaving Microsoft. Paul has a very mysterious announcement to make for our holiday show this year! Xbox October Update arrives with keyboard mapping for Elite Series 2 and Adaptive controllers. There are a lot more titles coming to Xbox Game Pass in early November. Microsoft will now block unofficial controllers on Xbox consoles. Atari acquires Digital Eclipse, the retro game company behind that amazing Karateka interactive documentary. Tips and Picks Tip of the week: Windows 11 Field Guide gets its first 23H2 update App pick of the week: Start11 v2 is here to chase your Start menu nightmares away RunAs Radio this week: Green IT with Mike Halsey -Brown liquor pick of the week: Leopold Bros Maryland Rye 100 Proof Hosts: Leo Laporte, Paul Thurrott, and Richard Campbell Download or subscribe to this show at https://twit.tv/shows/windows-weekly Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at https://twit.tv/clubtwit Check out Paul's blog at thurrott.com The Windows Weekly theme music is courtesy of Carl Franklin.

On this episode, Leo, Paul, and Richard discuss the big release of Windows 11 23H2, productivity in Macs vs PCs, Microsoft 365 Copilot arriving, changes in the Xbox and marketing divisions, iFixit support for Surface repair, and American rye whiskeys. 23H2 Surprise! Microsoft delivers the Windows 11 23H2 Update, which upgrades your Windows 11 version 22H2-based PC to version 23H2, much sooner than expected. Technically, Microsoft NEVER delivered the so-called "Fall Update," since it was only made available in preview form (twice, for some reason). So 23H2 is actually the first public release of those 150+ new features. The Windows 11 Media Creation Tool still installs 22H2. Because Microsoft. Workaround: Use the Windows 11 Installation Assistant. Which hilariously requires you to install the PC Health Check app. We need to discuss Microsoft Teams in Windows 11. And then literally never discuss it again. Microsoft is killing the Windows Insider MVP program. What exactly did it even mean to be an "MVP" in the Insider program? Dev: From last Friday, adds one new feature, a "Recently added" folder (for apps) in Start (in Recommended) Beta, from last Thursday: Two new features (gradual rollout): System components in Settings, Game Bar rebranding. Plus fixes. Windows 11 now has 26 percent usage share vs. 69 percent for Windows 10. Whatever happened to Windows 12?

Microsoft's FY23 Q4, Zenbleed vulnerability, Nearby Share for Windows Microsoft Earnings Microsoft had another blockbuster quarter. What else is new? Fiscal quarter: a net income of $20.1 billion on revenues of $56.2 billion. Those figures represent year-over-year (YOY) gains of 20 percent and 8 percent, respectively. Intelligent Cloud was again Microsoft's biggest business unit, delivering $24 billion in revenues (up 15 percent YOY) on the strength of server and cloud services revenue growth of 17 percent. Azure and other cloud services grew 26 percent YOY, and Enterprise Mobility saw its installed base grow by 11 percent to over 256 million seats. Productivity and Business Processes was Microsoft's second-biggest business, with $18.3 billion in revenues, a gain of 10 percent YOY. Here, Microsoft reported that Office commercial revenue was up 12 percent, Office 365 commercial revenues were up 15 percent, and Office consumer revenues were up 3 percent. Microsoft 365 consumer subscribers grew 12 percent to 67 million customers. More Personal Computing once again brought up the rear, with $13.9 billion in revenues, a decline of 4 percent YOY. Windows revenues from PC makers declined 12 percent. Surface (and HoloLens, but really just Surface) revenues were down 20 percent YOY, as that product line continues to struggle. Gaming revenue overall was up 1 percent, with Xbox hardware revenues down 13 percent YOY and Xbox content and services revenues up 5 percent, "driven by growth in third-party content and Xbox Game Pass." AI Stuff Top AI companies agree to safeguards (just not for privacy). Microsoft opens up Bing Chat to users on Chrome and Safari. ChatGPT for Android is available in the U.S. to handle all your mobile AI needs. GitHub Copilot Chat is now available in Beta, stage one of the transition to GitHub Copilot X. Apple is rumored to be working on its own ChatGPT. Windows This just in: Preview cumulative update for 22H2 arrives a day late. Insider: Microsoft tests 23H2 features in the Beta channel. AMD to fix Zenbleed vulnerability. Microsoft could release a Surface Studio Laptop 2 this year. U.S. Army to test upgraded HoloLens soon. Activision Blizzard Paul looked at how the Activision Blizzard acquisition will impact its quarterly financials. Not much, actually. Chief regulators from the FTC and CMA have spoken a bit publicly about their mishandled Microsoft cases. Mirroring what happened with the CMA last week, the FTC ended an internal trial against Microsoft so the sides can reach a settlement.
