In the latest episode of Windows Weekly, Leo Laporte, Mary Jo Foley and I discuss our busy year ahead, next week’s Windows 10 event, silliness over a Windows 7 milestone, more Windows 10 leaks, what’s next for OneDrive, some Windows Phone and Surface news, the 2014 PC market recovery and the latest battles between Microsoft and Google.

Head over to thurrott.com and register for the newsletter. Here’s the rollout schedule/what’s happening, and what I need from you.
Software pick of the week: Phone Insider for Windows Phone 8.1
Get ready for the Windows Phone 10 Technical Preview or whatever they’re going to call it
Plus: NBA JAM for Windows Phone is just 99 cents right now as part of Microsoft’s weekly red stripe deals – thanks to David Benedict
Enterprise pick of the week: ANS, RIP
MS has opted to do away with free Advance Notification Service (ANS) — the mechanism via which it gave IT pros and others a public heads up about what to expect on Patch Tuesday. The first Patch Tuesday without this wasn’t a great one.
Codename pick of the week: Gemini
It’s a good time to remind folks about what Gemini is and isn’t (ahead of next week’s Win 10 event). Here’s my first report about it from 2013: http://www.zdnet.com/article/microsofts-office-gemini-windows-blues-twin/
Beer pick of the week: Rodenbach Caractère Rouge
A fantastic Flanders red made with raspberries, cherries and cranberries. Think of this as a brunch beer. This is from Belgium’s Rodenbach brewery, which also makes the delightful Grand Cru: http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/216/74778/
