Windows Weekly (Audio)

I really enjoy the show, can do without the “back of the book” part. Would love a little bit more on O365 and Microsoft 365.

Entertaining,informative and fun to listen to

Seems like Cory Doctorow’s theory is becoming universal when it comes to goods and services. I enjoyed listening to this podcast off and on for several years, as I moved back my desktop/mobile computer use back to Windows from macOS (mostly due to gaming). Mary Jo’s departure was her choice. I respected it, but that was the beginning of the end for me. I kept going, but the final straw was Mr. Thurrott’s dismissal about privacy concerns with all this hyped AI nonsense - especially pooh-poohing privacy concerns related to Windows Recall. Pretty disrespectful, if you ask me! There are valid concerns with all this AI nonsense being pushed on consumers, and a factor in making W11 worse and worse. I haven’t even started on this ad stuff. Ridiculous. If I’m a Chicken Little for being worried and fed up about Microsoft ruining an already quasi-dubious product, so be it. There are enough other podcasts to listen to, anyway. No need to listen to industry shills who disrespect daily users. Done.

Since bringing Richard in as the new co-host, the show spends more time on developer topics or the inside workings of Windows. I miss the 365 or enterprise topics they used to discuss. Still a worthy listen for IT but less applicable information than there used to be.
