Paul chimes in on his experience at Microsoft's recent AI event, changes to Windows 11's confusing updates, last week's Xbox leaks, antitrust lawsuits against tech companies like Microsoft and Amazon, and more!

Microsoft Special Event: Blockbuster... or blockluster?

Paul went to his first in-person Microsoft event in almost four years. You're not going to believe what happened next!

We had a confusing several days, the perfect end-cap to a confusing year when it comes to Windows updating. But now we have the answers.
