This Week's Stories
- Modern OS: It's the future of Windows, vaguely. In a boring blog post about new PCs, Microsoft suddenly---if vaguely---starts discussing something called Modern OS. And it is not Windows 10. Or is it?
- Related: PCs continue evolving despite the down market, and I like what they've become. Plus, Lenovo, the world's biggest PC maker, is somehow experiencing big PC sales growth.
- Dell tips something called Windows 10 Home Ultra. This is almost certainly the new name for Windows 10 Home Advanced, which Thurrott.com revealed a year ago. But Microsoft says "Ultra" does not exist.
- Windows 10 version 1903 ekes out into the world, slowly.
- Much ado about nothing with new Microsoft Edge, again
- Microsoft celebrates 10 years of Bing. Which was not its first search engine. Or 2nd or 3rd either. When did Bing finally turn a profit? 2015
- Microsoft is making a Pro IntelliMouse for some reason.
- There's a purple Xbox One S on the way!
- New messaging experience comes to Xbox app
- Related: PS Now is the biggest game streaming service today
