Tips and picks

Tip of the week: Hide Cortana if you don’t want it
You can’t turn it off now. But you can hide Cortana

App pick of the week: Battlefield 1 Open Beta Goes Live on Xbox One, PC
It’s pretty limited but worth looking at

Related: PlayStation Now for PC

Plus: Appraisin pick of the week: Office Lens goes UWP and is on Windows 10 for PCs, Mobile and HoloLens

Enterprise pick of the week: MS tries to win over VMware users with new promo
Free Win Server 2016 Datacenter licenses if you switch from VMware to Hyper-V. But the catch: You need to buy Software Assurance.

Codename pick of the week: Havana
Our buddy The Walking Cat says the codename of the new Microsoft Garage Cache app may be “Havana.” (might be the replacement to the disappeared Garage Clip app?) There were a bunch of other Garage apps that debuted this week, too

(Paul’s) Beer pick of the week: Brewery Maker by Jack’s Abby
Brewery Maker is my kind of beer: High in alcohol, and very much like a Barleywine beer.

Upcoming events

Windows Weekly next week is on Tuesday instead of Wednesday at 2 pm ET. Because Apple.
