On Halloween, the last day of October, Microsoft delayed Recall again. It was supposed to preview in October, this is the third delay. No clear reason why. December now, supposedly. Plus, Paul gives an earnings recap that he didn't get to dive into much last week.
Windows
New 24H2 bug More features coming to Prism emulator in Windows 11 on Arm (!) New generative AI features are coming to Paint, Photos, and Notepad Beta channel: Here's the new Windows Hello experience, with explicit references to passkeys Proton VPN is native on Windows 11 on Arm Windows Server 2025 is GA (and some are being mistakenly force-upgraded. This is what you get when you share a codebase with Windows 11, apparently) Google shifts Android development cycle - Major update each Q2, minor update each Q4, monthly feature/quality updatesA Tale of 2 Chips
Paul reviewed the AMD Zen 5-based HP OmniBook Ultra, it's awesome. Paul is also reviewing an Intel Lunar Lake laptop, and it is not awesome Early glee around Lunar Lake was misplaced Laptop reviewers all report what Paul is seeing (for once), that the performance is horrific. You need to switch to "Best performance" power management mode for reasonable performance, but this hasn't solved all the issues COD: Black Ops 6. Average FPS under Zen 5 is 90 to 120 at native resolution/medium graphics, single and multi-player. Lunar Lake? 40 FPS with all graphics settings on low/very low Intel now says Lunar Lake is a one-off too (Meteor Lake was likewise a one-off, architecturally). It will no longer package RAM with processors because of margins. Lunar Lake rushed to market and was key contributor to recent financial issuesMore Earnings Learnings
Amazon: $159 billion in revenues, $27.5 billion for AW Apple: $95 billion in revenues, a small uptick in iPhone revenuesMicrosoft 365/AI
Some curious/confusing moves with Microsoft 365 for consumers: subscribers in Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand are getting Copilot Pro credits with base subscription (Word, Excel, etc.), Designer, ... and the long-overdue and dreaded price increase This must be a test for the U.S. and western Europe. Feels inevitable OpenAI launches ChatGPT Search. This is not the Google Search replacement you're looking forXbox
It's November, so here's the incredible list of Activision Blizzard games now coming to Game Pass! Just kidding, but we are getting Flight Sim 2024 Microsoft introduced an AI-powered support virtual agent to Xbox because something something AI Switch sales drop off a cliff, Nintendo will announce backward-compatible successor before the end of March Sony launches the PS5 Pro to mehTips and Picks

Enjoy Leo's many hats in this fun and silly edition of Windows Weekly. Happy Halloween!
Windows 11
Yes, Windows 11 version 24H2 got its preview update for October too, a few days late as expected 24H2 was a surprisingly big platform shift - no enablement updates - faster updates going forward Dev and Beta get new builds, minor changes in eachMicrosoft 365/AI/dev
Teams is... getting weird Microsoft 365 apps get Handoff support on Apple devices Notion Mail - a light alternatives to Google Workspace and M365? GitHub Copilot goes multi-LLM Apple Intelligence wave one arrives, mostly to indifference. Wave two in December. EU is getting it in the Spring New Macs this week with M4. But the big news? 16 GB of RAM, minimum. Finally. The Browser Company can't realize its vision for the future with ArcEarnings/Corporate
Microsoft and Google duke it out over Cloud licensing - This one is getting ugly Google - $88.3 billion in revenues AMD - OK, but dominated by Intel on PCs and NVIDIA in AI/datacenterXbox
More games, more people, more devices, Microsoft says Less emphasis on console but what might a next-gen console look like? Arm? Mobile? Third-party hardware makers? Cloud Gaming is limited to the most expensive Game Pass tier - that has to change, and what about a standalone tier? Mobile app stores are coming - but what about native mobile games? Call of Duty Black Ops 6 lands on PC Game Pass, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and Cloud Gaming - Paul puts aside his grudge and gives it a shot Microsoft previews new Home experience for Xbox app on WindowsTips and Picks

In case you missed it
You didn't. But Qualcomm canceled that Snapdragon Dev Box, will refund customers Qualcomm picked the wrong company for this Also, there are plenty of Copilot+ PCs and does it make more sense to develop against the type of PC your customers will use?Windows 11
23H2 gets a preview update, as expected Copilot key customization, Gamepad for virtual keyboard, notification suggestions, etc. Qualcomm and Microsoft solve Paul's only hardware issue with Arm, more Qualcomm brings Oryon cores to the phone, comes out firing against Intel, and is sued by Arm Dev channel: That Gamepad virtual kb thing Canary: That Copilot key customization thing Photos app gets Super Resolution feature - Microsoft says in preview, but Paul sees it in stable Microsoft Store is getting "immersive trailers" because ADHDMicrosoft 365, AI, more
Report details mounting tensions between Microsoft and OpenAI. Worst partnership ever? Several months after releasing Mac and iPhone ChatGPT apps, OpenAI delivers a comicly-named "early version" of it for Windows. Thanks guys, don't hurt yourselves. Microsoft announces first AI agents for commercial space, DIY in AI Studio AI in phases? Copilot is phase one, this thing that works beside you (app, essentially) Agents is phase two, this thing that works on your behalf away from you (service, essentially) Copilot comes to OneNote for Mac, iPad in beta Two years behind in AI, Apple has figured out the right quips and marketing messages As expected, Google gets a stay of execution (pardon the pun) in Epic case (also, pardon the pun) WTF is happening with smartphones? Did Apple and Google look at the 2024 Windows 11 Mess and say, we want us some of that? Apple Intelligence to roll out over at least four major iOS 18 updates and then forever Google rushes Android 15 dev to meet new August deadline for Pixel 9 series, whiffs it, and then delivers it 2 months late ... But at least it's jam-packed with AIXbox

On this episode, Leo Laporte shows off his new Snapdragon Dev Kit to Paul Thurrott and Richard Campbell. He also tries setting it up, and the process is TOTALLY "seamless." AMD has revealed the Ryzen AI PRO 300 Series alongside Intel's launch of the Core Ultra 200S desktop processors. The FIDO Alliance has published new credential exchange specifications. Sarah Bond announces that Xbox games will be purchasable on Android. And Paul unveils his new "get rich" scheme... as he looks for some feedback.
Intel and AMD announce partnership that is clearly aimed at taking on Arm. Intel was already working on simplifying the x86 architecture by removing older, unused bits Don't worry, Intel and AMD will still compete. And AMD just released new AI processors, with Intel also announcing first Core Ultra chips for Desktop Which raises a question: Why do the desktop chips not meet the Copilot+ PC spec?
x86's Last Stand?Windows
Redmond, we have a quality problem: 24H2 is besieged by a curious number of issues despite several months of gestation and a shared feature set with 23H2. Dev and Beta: Beta is minor, but Dev has some Taskbar updates Release Preview: New builds for 23H2 and 24H2 hint at this month's Week D preview updates - since this announcement, some features have been delayedMicrosoft 365/Surfac

Join Leo, Paul, and Richard on a potentially Spanish-adjacent episode! Patch Tuesday arrives and Microsoft finally admits that 24H2 is a thing. Plus, a discussion on Satya Nadella recently describing the LLMs behind Copilot and other AIs as a "commodity." In Xbox news, Microsoft finally reveals it's moving Halo to Unreal Engine, and it's renaming the tarnished 343 Industries after laying off much of that studio.

After a flurry of last-second pre-release activity, Microsoft shipped 24H2 a week earlier than expected! Copilot also gets a major update for individuals too, and Copilot+ PCs get more features.
24H2 is here!
Last week's Week D updates did finally go out, first to 22H2/23H2 and then to 24H2 That 22H2/23H2 preview update was apparently a hot mess Now Microsoft has issued a fix Windows 11 version 24H2 is fully available. Arm64 ISOs are coming soon The first LTSC version(s) of Windows 11 is now available - Windows 11 Enterprise Long Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) 24H2 + Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024) New Dev and Beta builds, not much new, but new Snipping Tools spreads further Canary build todayCopilot
Copilot morphs into an AI companion or something Copilot+ PCs are getting new features, including one with a serious Recall vibe Microsoft is trying a different tact with the new AI features - explaining why they can be trusted. Can they be trusted? Microsoft belatedly explains why you can trust Recall As expected, Microsoft does a song and dance on changes to Recall, but notably never thanks the feedback it got from the security community. Good. But this is still a win-win, if just for opt-in and, now, uninstall Google pushes Gemini more in ChromeOSMicrosoft 365, More

Windows 11
24H2 is following a now-familiar trajectory to release. Right, it's chaos Microsoft issues last-second updates to 22H2/23H2 and 24H2 in the Release Preview on Monday. Paul predicted these would turn into our Week D updates later in the week and that we'd get nothing on Tuesday Dev and Beta channels got some interesting updates recently as well The Windows App is now available on Windows, Mac, and iOS HP announces two new flagship AI PCs, one AMD and one Intel. Plus a lower-cost 8-core Snapdragon model. This is officially a trend. A week after providing details about the September 2024 firmware update for Surface Laptop 7, Microsoft confirmed it shipped the same update to Surface Pro 11.

Wave 2 of Microsoft 365 Copilot kicks off, including an agent builder! Lenovo's got an everything-in-one ThinkBook, HP's got a Ryzen AI 300-based Copilot+ PC, and Netflix has a new series with Bill Gates.
Windows 11
Microsoft comes clean on the schedule for Windows 11 version 24H2 First AMD Zen 5-based Copilot+ PC in here (if here means "Paul's house") A few thoughts on where we're at with Copilot+ PCs, AI, etc Microsoft deprecates legacy DRM in Windows Google is bringing desktop windowing capabilities to AndroidMicrosoft 365 + AI/Dev

An era we will think back on as "the good old days" Microsoft issues .NET 9 RC1 ahead of November release. Clear to Paul that the WPF support in this release will never be updated again, which sucksHardware
Intel finally has some good news: Foundry subsidiary spin-off, AWS expanded partnership, more CHIPS money Intel also has some bad news: It lost out on the PS6 contract to AMD, which made previous gen PS chips A Windows 11 2-in-1 (like Surface Book) in which the detachable display is a powerful, standalone Android tabletXbox
