App pick of the week: Skype for Web (Preview)
Skype for Web (Preview) is Skype without the app. Or something. thanks to Rick (
@rpodric) on Twitter.
Enterprise pick of the week: Olympia v2
Codename pick of the week: Vanadium and Vibranium
Microsoft is shifting its codename scheme yet again and now matching Azure in its use of chemical elements as codenames. Vanadium is up after 19H1. Then Vibranium (not Chromium), for rather obvious reasons.
Beer pick of the week: Dogfish Head Punkin Ale
I don’t drink pumpkin beers often, but when I do, I try to find ones that don’t taste like a slice of pumpkin pie. Dogfish Head’s Punkin Ale is a decent pumpkin beer. You get the spices, but not the sweetness (despite inclusion of brown sugar).
