It's the last Windows Weekly in the TWiT Eastside Studio! The Week D mystery continues in this episode. And Windows Insider has had a relatively quiet week. Intel is in trouble, with stock price dropping over 25 percent! WordStar is back, but the big news here is the documentation archive. Also, Paul thinks the improved Reader mode in Firefox 129 is pretty sweet. Windows 11 Last week, Microsoft issued Week D update for 22H2/23H2 late Last week, Microsoft issued 24H2 build to the Release Preview channel but nothing for Week D. Paul speculated this would replace the Weed D update, head to stable in August Since then, Microsoft quietly issued Week D update for 24H2 one week late (on last day of July) Speculation was correct: These are all the same thing, with the same new features, most CFRs Microsoft's release schedule gets even more chaotic. It's been missing the Week D Tuesday release schedule more often than not in recent months BIG update to the Microsoft Store in Canary and Dev today Hardware Snapdragon X is a huge leap forward for the PC, but Apple/MacBook Air still have big advantages AMD's new chips are getting rave reviews Intel is on track for Lunar Lake in September Intel earnings crater, with layoffs, cost reductions Stock price drop second worst in corporate history Intel extends Core processor Gen 13/14 warranty by 2 years (PC bundles only) Core processor warranty is extended to retail sales Surface Laptop 7, Surface Pro 11 for Business available for preorder Microsoft 365 The new Outlook is now generally available and the Microsoft community celebrates in the streets Antitrust/Corporate Google found guilty of abusing its Search monopoly Big point: Google's revenue share deals with Apple, etc. Could this kill Mozilla? Microsoft and Bing come up over 500 times (!) in the ruling. Obsessed much? Apple would like to have its antitrust case dismissed.
