    Windows 11 version 25H2 is here, but blink and you might miss the difference from last year!

But where is it? And what is it? Microsoft has a list of "new" features More Windows 11 Microsoft delivers the 24H2 Week D update in Week E No, it's not the preview version of 25H2 for some reason But it is a massive update.

More like Harm Holdings, ammmi right? AI Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella steps aside to focus on engineering Microsoft enters a new era for Copilot/AI "More Copilot" is the new "more cowbell" Microsoft 365 Premium is the AI-powered subscription you were looking for, Copilot Pro is out This maps neatly to the three app structure model and to Paul's "I will not pay for AI" thing Tied to this, Microsoft also announced inside app vibe working updates across Office apps Is this also tied to low uptick on paid AI?

    Netflix Tears - Windows 11, version 25H2 heads to Release Preview!

    Paul Thurrott is in Berlin this week for IFA 2025! With AI models multiplying across devices and Microsoft plotting a post-OpenAI future, Paul and Richard debate whether Copilot and local AI finally hint at what's next for your PC. Paul also reacts to the surprising Google antitrust ruling, questioning whether judges are truly willing to rein in Big Tech or just maintain the status quo.

    Shakin' the Treats - Microsoft becomes a $4 trillion company

    Microsoft's fiscal year ended on a high note, assuming you didn't just get laid off. WinSAT's formal assessment will give you some interesting PC performance information, similar to the old WEI score from Windows Vista. And Proton finally makes a standalone authenticator app; How to transition from whatever you're currently using and why you'll need to keep using Microsoft Authenticator too.Microsoft Earning Quarterly: net income of $27.2 billion on revenues of $76.4 billion.

Azure earned $75 billion in revenues in FY, its first-ever disclosure of this number - Fun with math, that means $56 billion in revenues in previous FY. How far back can we go? Microsoft's market cap exceeded $4 trillion after earnings release "Copilot" has over 100 million MAUs, really M365 Copilot, which even Nadella thinks is a new M365 tier GitHub Copilot has over 20 million MAUs, probably most are free HUGE gains in Microsoft Gaming/Xbox, discussed below Windows 11 But first, something completely different: Microsoft's "vision" for Windows in 2030 David Weston a curious choice for this video, first in a series - he's in security Daily work life changes thanks to AI - less toil work, less eyes and more talking, multimodal interactions Security - customers want appliance-level security, "it just works" security - Degenerates into a general security discussion Back to AI, reclaiming our lives Windows 11 SE, RIP - We hardly knew you. Literally. Insider: Changes to Home view in File Explorer for Work and School sign-ins, Settings app changes in Dev (25H2) and Beta (24H2) More earnings AMD - HUGE gains in its PC businesses! Qualcomm up 10% Apple up 9.6% Amazon up 13% AI & dev OpenAI releases its first open-weight reasoning models and Microsoft gives them away for free Apple is trying to Sherlock ChatGPT Of course Alexa+ will get ads Dev: Microsoft has a native app problem on Windows Microsoft says it will fix Windows App SDK Paul just switched .NETpad to the Windows App SDK and can confirm it's a nightmare WPF is half-assed... and last year, it took Microsoft over 9 months to deliver the first Windows Copilot Runtime capabilities to devs, but you still can't use this in production.

    Five Paperclips - Looking back at 10 Years of Windows 10

    Ten years ago yesterday, Microsoft released Windows 10, fixing the issues with Windows 8.x and giving Windows 7 users a solid upgrade. One historical curiosity: It was the first Windows release without a major launch event. In other news, Microsoft publishes a Nadella email to the troops about the layoffs, but he never really addresses the layoffs.Windows 10 turns 10 The Bad: Its legacy is mixed, as this is when the enshittification of Windows began, really Windows as a Service Ads, crapware, and telemetry — plus some made-up privacy issues Terry Myerson gaff about one billion users Universal apps/One Windows was a bust, with Windows Phone and HoloLens failures Windows 10's launch was a missed opportunity to make the Store matter The Good: Windows Subsystem for Linux was huge WinGet was also huge, but is underappreciated and underutilized to this day It did reverse the mistakes of Windows 8, and in time it got more stable as Microsoft figured out WaaS (and then went on to abuse it) Oh, and the Windows 10 Field Guide is free to celebrate the anniversary Windows 11 Microsoft is using Rust for Surface drivers, and it wants all Windows drivers to switch to Rust too The Link to Windows app is getting a nice upgrade on Android Dev (25H2) and Beta (24H2): Settings agent for x86, SCOOBE changes, Click to Do improvements, Windows Search improvements Canary: Just a couple of bug fixes (Actually, two builds, one today also with no features) Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, and Media Encoder are Now Native on Windows 11 on Arm in beta Opera files antitrust case against Microsoft in Brazil for Windows 11/Edge behaviors Another app blocking Recall in a slow-drop of negative Recall-related AI privacy news for Microsoft. Rant: More importantly, Recall is boring and not useful given the hype around it. Intel earnings are flat, but more layoffs are on the way Lenovo rollable laptop in action! (ThinkBook Plus Gen 6) Lenovo makes a lot of weird laptops now (like the dual-screen Yoga Book 9i Paul reviewed last year) — apparently they didn't get the message after Microsoft cancelled the Surface Neo and Windows 10X. Does the average modern Windows laptop really need a touchscreen? Is this a relic of the Windows 8 era? AI & Microsoft 365 Perplexity Comet is real and it shows the way forward for AI web browsers Coincidentally, Microsoft suddenly launches Copilot mode for Microsoft Edge. (But I've played with Copilot Mode, and it's no Comet or Dia.) Copilot is getting real-time expressions. It's the return of Clippy! Microsoft's long-term Copilot plans are a lot wilder than you might expect Google earned $96.4 billion in one quarter. This shows that it has not been impacted by other AIs yet Xbox & gaming Xbox is coming to Gamerscom in Germany in August, and it's bringing the ROG Xbox Ally handhelds The July Xbox Update is here and it's all about the PC Paul reviewed the Lenovo Legion Go S, and the Windows experience was so bad. Also, PC OEMs are having trouble competing with the Steam Deck's pricing on gaming handhelds. Tips & picks Tips of the week: Chris and Paul are partnering on his new newsletter App pick of the week: Perplexity Pro Beer pick of the week: Alesong Rhino Suit These show notes have been truncated due to length.
