Tips and picks

Tip of the week: How to transition to the new Edge

I’m writing a series for users coming to the new Edge from the old Edge or other browsers. So Far, I’ve written Getting Started, Sync, Media Auto-Play, Extensions, and Favorites.

App pick of the week: Microsoft Launcher 5.3

I’ve recommended this before, but version 5.3 adds an awesome new clock/weather widget

Also: The new Edge, obviously. It’s ready for anyone listening to this podcast

Enterprise pick No. 1 of the week: PowerShell 7.0

PowerShell drops the “Core” part of its name, but aligns with the .NET Core release schedule moving forward.

Enterprise pick No. 2 of the week: RIP HealthVault

Ten years ago, Microsoft made a bet that it could help solve patient records management. This year, it’s finally throwing in the towel on HealthVault.

Beer pick of the week: Bell’s Oberon Ale

It’s almost summer! (c’mon, it is! It was 78 in nyc on Monday!) A beer meant to signify the start of the summer season is Bell’s Oberon Ale. It’s a wheat beer with “the color and scent of sunny afternoon,” according to Bells, which is based in Comstock, Mich. It even works with a slice of orange (if you’re not opposed to that kind of thing).

    <p>Paul, did you know you used the description, <a href="https://www.thurrott.com/windows/windows-10/127333/windows-disservice-premium&quot; target="_blank">Windows as a Disservice</a>, yourself? :)</p>

    <p>Paul, in the 26 minute mark you raised the issue of how Microsoft is putting an onus on the user to remember to go every week to defer updates for 7 days. From what the discussion it sounded like instead of surfacing a popup prompt to users as to whether to restart now or postpone, Microsoft would automatically restart and install updates if the user doesn't take proactive action every 7 days to manually navigate to Update and defer. Is it the case that there won't be popup prompts every 7 days like the popups that surface near the taskbar in Windows 7?</p>
